Error mv command Solaris 10
Hi,
does any one know what happens if you issue command mv file*
and forget to write down the target directory? I lost with this command many files, if any one can tell me where to look for them I'll appreciate a lot.

The glob pattern is expanded and the last entry becomes the target.

Code:
$ ls
file1    file2    file3    file4 

$ echo *
file4 file2 file1 file3

$ mv *

$ ls
file3

Thanks, reborg. It worked, I found files.
