UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,

I am using mv command for moving file

Code:

mv /tmp/test /tmp/test_bkp

but I am getting

Code:

change from notrun to 0 failed: Could not find command 'mv'

I am using mv command in puppet language, so generally we use like below

Code:

 
command => "/usr/bin/awk '/search/ { print $1}' /tmp/test

So when I use same for mv command like below

command => "/usr/bin/mv /tmp/test /tmp/test_bkp"

I am getting error.

I checked /usr/bin but I don't see mv command so where this "mv" command picks from and which path.

It picks it from the first path it finds it in (unless you specify a path when running it).

From the (shell) prompt, type:

Code:

which mv

For me, it's:

Code:

$ which mv
/bin/mv
