Problem with mv command

I was trying to move a file to a particular directory. In a hurry i forgot to give the dest directory, as below



Code:
 
mv prod.log

The file disappeared. Smilie
Any idea where it might have moved???

And I have tried moving files based on date from one directory to another as below.

Code:
 
-rw-rw-rw- 1 plttux edwprod 6130 Mar 8 01:07 XXX_20120308.tar.Z
-rw-rw-rw- 1 plttux edwprod 51 Mar 8 01:15 XXX_20120308_COMPLETE
 
$ mv *20120308*
$ mv *20120308* karthi 
$ cd karthi
$ ls -ltr
total XXXXX
-rw-rw-rw- 1 plttux edwprod 20546 Mar 7 09:14 XXX_20120307.tar.Z
-rw-rw-rw- 1 plttux edwprod 51 Mar 7 09:16 XXX_20120307_COMPLETE
-rw-rw-rw- 1 plttux edwprod 6130 Mar 8 01:07 XXX_20120308_COMPLETE

It seems the content of the file "XXX_20120308.tar.Z" was copied in the name "XXX_20120308_COMPLETE", I assume this from the file size(6130).

Any idea why the file(XXX_20120308.tar.Z) is missing?? Smilie
How to get it back???

Thanks in adv....

virt-tar-in(1)						      Virtualization Support						    virt-tar-in(1)

NAME
virt-tar-in - Unpack a tarball into a virtual machine disk image. SYNOPSIS
virt-tar-in -a disk.img data.tar /destination virt-tar-in -d domain data.tar /destination zcat data.tar.gz | virt-tar-in -d domain - /destination WARNING
Using "virt-tar-in" on live virtual machines can be dangerous, potentially causing disk corruption. The virtual machine must be shut down before you use this command. DESCRIPTION
"virt-tar-in" unpacks an uncompressed tarball into a virtual machine disk image or named libvirt domain. The first parameter is the tar file. Use "-" to read the tar file from standard input. The second parameter is the absolute target directory to unpack into. EXAMPLES
Upload a home directory to a guest: virt-tar-in -d MyGuest homes.tar /home JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH
This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the guestfish(1) "tar-in" command. For anything more complex than a trivial copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly. OPTIONS
Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read guestfish(1) to see the full list of options. SEE ALSO
