Hi all...
I am baffled by something which may be simple..I must be doing something
stupid..
I have some dirs/files I want to move into existing child directories but
when a directory already exists for a dir I am trying to move over, mv will
just complain with the usual (/mv: /dir/dir/dir is a directory) and it will
fail to copy that directory and all child files/dirs within it..
Let me illustrate...
I have these which I want to move back into position..
E.g.
/files/archive/2001-01/<load of files>
/files/archive/2001-02/<load of files>
/files/archive/2001-03/<load of files>
/files/archive/2001-04/<load of files>
/files/archive/2001-05/<load of files>
I want to put these back into
/files/2001-01/
/files/2001-01/
/files/2001-01/
/files/2001-01/
