Hi Kraljic,

Alister is correct, exec will be sufficient for this job with find which required less CPU. Since you may run this command mutiple times in day to move the files it can slightly affect the system performance. So please see the modified one.

find /u03/pkms/app_logs/*.log -mmin +5 -exec mv {} /u05/nmbs/may13/ \;
