I've just had a minor (is there any such thing?) catastrophe with using
mv to sort out some used vs unused scripts
I had a list of used scripts in a file .
I read that into a "while" (using ksh) that mv'd them to a dir called
"used"
then I moved the remaining contents of the target dir to "unused"
then mv'd the used/* back into the original directory
BUT
a number of files are missing - not on the machine ANYWHERE!!!
Is there / was there / a problem with mv that I should have patched????
anyone else had this prob
oh woe is me :-(
