Re: [Centos] help with xargs and mv

It appears that xargs really, really does not like a wildcard in the command construction.

#cat workmid | xargs -i mv ./mqueue/df'{}' ./mqueue/offline #cat workmid | xargs -i mv ./mqueue/qf'{}' ./mqueue/offline

work and move the files, but neither of:

#cat workmid | xargs -i mv ./mqueue/*'{}' ./mqueue/offline #cat workmid | xargs -i mv ./mqueue/*'{}' ./mqueue/offline

work. Bizarre.

Thanks for all of the assistance. This was really helpful.

Regards, Jim
