Hi

From the xargs man page (Solaris):
ls $1 | xargs -I {} -t mv $1/{} $2/{}

This would move all the files in directory $1 to directory $2

Problem 1:
In a shell script if I want to move files in d1 to d2
dir1=~/d1
dir2=~/d2
ls $dir1 | xargs -I {} -t mv $dir1/{} $dir2/{}

does not work......

Problem 2:
The idea is to move yesterday's file in dir1 to dir2
I have got all the yesterday's files in a variable called files
ls $files | xargs -I {} -t mv $dir1/{} $dir2/{}

produces - /usr/bin/ls -arg list too long

What am I missing???

Regards
enc.
