Sorry Bartus , It didnt work

Here is one other example which I have tried

/* This is the structure for abcd*/

$ ls -R /usr/bin/abcd
/usr/bin/abcd:
efgh fff1.log fff2.log fff3.log

/usr/bin/abcd/efgh:
fff4.log fff5.log

/* I am creating another directory called abcd1*/

$ mkdir /usr/bin/abcd1

/* Using your command , I am moving the *.log files from abcd to abcd1 ,including the directory structure ( sub directories ). As you can see , it fails with the output below */

$ find /usr/bin/abcd -name "*.log" | xargs -i bash -c "echo {} | cpio -pdmu /usr/bin/abcd1 ; rm -f {} "

0 blocks
0 blocks
0 blocks
0 blocks
0 blocks

if xargs is for passing the output then what is the usage -exec {} .Is there any difference between these two

--output=FILE Write the generated file to FILE. The default is to write to standard output. --modules=MODULES Pre-load modules specified by MODULES. --install-modules=MODULES Install only MODULES and their dependencies. The default is to install all available modules. --themes=THEMES Install THEMES. The default is to install the starfield theme, if available. --fonts=FONTS Install FONTS. The default is to install the unicode font. --locales=LOCALES Install only locales listed in LOCALES. The default is to install all available locales. --compress[=no,xz,gz,lzo] Compress GRUB files using the specified compression algorithm. --directory=DIR Use images and modules in DIR. --grub-mkimage=FILE Use FILE as grub-mkimage(1). The default is /usr/bin/grub-mkimage. --rom-directory=DIR Save ROM images in DIR. --xorriso=FILE Use FILE as xorriso. --grub-glue-efi=FILE Use FILE as grub-glue-efi(3). --grub-render-label=FILE Use FILE as grub-render-label(3). --label-font=FILE Use FILE as the font file for generated labels. --label-color=COLOR Use COLOR as the color for generated labels. --label-bgcolor=COLOR Use COLOR as the background color for generated labels. --product-name=STRING Use STRING as the product name in generated labels. --product-version=STRING Use STRING as the product version in generated labels. --sparc-boot Enable booting the SPARC platform.
