mv -f $XXTEST_TOP/install/SPE1/XXTEST_SPE1_XX_QUOTE_DETAILS_TBL.sql $XXTEST_TOP/admin2/sql
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo "Move is successful"
fi

1. What u mean by $? here can u be more explicit please am really new to shell scripting ..
Again thank you for your kind attention

To display the value of the variable $ followed by variable name gives the value stored in that variable

? is the shell variable which stores the exit status of the previously executed command.
