Re: [Centos] help with xargs and mv

Thank you for that clarification.

Now what happens is this:

#cat workmv | xargs -i mv ./mqueue/'{}' ./mqueue/offline mv: cannot stat `./mqueue/*j17KeeL7025621': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat ... one for each entry in workmv

# # ll ./mqueue/*j17KeeL7025621 -rw------- 1 root root 19397 Feb 7 15:41 ./mqueue/dfj17KeeL7025621 -rw------- 1 root smmsp 1812 Feb 8 13:41 ./mqueue/qfj17KeeL7025621

Do I need to escape the leading * in the workfile?

Regards, Jim
