help with xargs and mv
...when I do this I get the error:
mv: when moving multiple files, last argument must be a directory
Try `mv --help' for more information.
There is obviously something about xargs that I do not understand.
In my imagination I see this xargs construction expanding to this:
mv /var/spool/mqueue/*messageid1 /var/spool/mqueue/offline
mv /var/spool/mqueue/*messageid2 /var/spool/mqueue/offline
.
.
.
mv /var/spool/mqueue/*messageidn /var/spool/mqueue/offline
so that the qf and df files for each message are moved into the
subdirectory offline. But this is obviously incorrect. Can anyone
here point out...
