Hi all,
I used an unix command to move data. In process forgot to type target file name.
Lets say I had PathA/fileA and had to move to PathB/fileB. I forgot to specify FileB and typed the command (from PathA) as
mv ./fileA PathB
Now I cant find the fileA anywhere. Has anyone got any idea where it could be??
Thanks

Hi Vsi..
Probably it must be moved to PATHB. Can you give the exact path of PATHB..
Thank you..

I was in (/nz/etl/dev/dbx/in)
Code: Select all
mv ./client_ext.lst /nz/etl/crt/dbx/in

The fileA will be moved to PathB.
Your file movement would be PathB/fileA rather than PathB/fileB
If you dont give a name to the file during your move it retains the same name as the source file
So your will be in -
/nz/etl/crt/dbx/in with the same file name i.e client_ext.lst

Or
1)there may be a chance to be in the PATHA only.probabably as a file name "/nz/etl/crt/dbx/in"
Or
2)as a file "in" in PATHB(/nz/etl/crt/dbx/)
OR
3) as a file "/nz/etl/crt/dbx/" in PATHB
I am not sure..but try to check

It should move the file. Check your return code or error log of the command used for more info.
