I wrote a script which moves files on first in first out basis.

for i in `ls –ltr | grep ^- | head -10 | awk '{print $9}'`
do
mv $i Test/
done

But donno some reason, this is not working on my Linux box. May i know the reason?

Can the above script be done by using positional parameters?

for i in $*
do
cd $1
x = `ls –ltr | grep ^- | head -10 | awk '{print $9}'`
mv $x $2
done

please correct me.
