mv

I would like clarification on the permissions required, in order to move a file A from directory B to directory C (the command would be "mv B/A C/A", I think), with name unchanged. Am I correct to think that the following are required? The user/group doing the move must have write permission for directory B (or B must have permission flag set to allow all users/groups to write it) The user/group doing the move must have write permission for directory C (or C must have permission flag set to allow all users/groups to write it) The user/group doing the move must have write permission for file A

This should be relatively trivial but I have been trying for some time without much luck. I have a directory, with many sub-directories, each with their own structure and files. I am looking to find all .java files within any directory under the working directory, and rename them to a particular name. For example, I would like to name all of the java files test.java . If the directory structure is a follows: ./files/abc/src/abc.java ./files/eee/src/foo.java ./files/roo/src/jam.java I want to simply rename to: ./files/abc/src/test.java ./files/eee/src/test.java ./files/roo/src/test.java Part of

So we have a problem where we need to crawl through hundreds of thousands of images and rename all of them to comply with ASCII standards. After doing a lot of research online, we found this handy piece of code: mv 'file' $(echo 'file' | sed -e 's/[^A-Za-z0-9._-]/_/g') sourced from: How to remove invalid characters from filenames I have tried merging it into a recursive find command, to be run whilst in our main images directory: find . -print0 | xargs -0 mv $(echo | sed -e 's/[^A-Za-z0-9._-]/_/g') But i cant seem to get it to run. The closest i've gotten, is the above code throwing a lot of

I am wondering - how can I move all the files in a directory except those files in a specific directory (as 'mv' does not have a '--exclude' option)? Lets's assume the dir structure is like, |parent |--child1 |--child2 |--grandChild1 |--grandChild2 |--grandChild3 |--grandChild4 |--grandChild5 |--grandChild6 And we need to move files so that it would appear like, |parent |--child1 | |--grandChild1 | |--grandChild2 | |--grandChild3 | |--grandChild4 | |--grandChild5 | |--grandChild6 |--child2 In this case, you need to exclude two directories child1 and child2 , and move rest of the directories in
