Wow! Didn't see that coming from a moderator.

How come it's syntactically-incorrect nonsense if it's working ?

Agreed, foobar is confusing here but works so syntax is not an issue

$1 = starting directory
$2 = pattern
$3 = destination

Question : Can system load be playing a role here ? Like output of find command not properly communicated to mv command and mv ends up with having empty string as src.

Code:
find ${1} -name "${2}" | sort -t"_" +7n +8n | xargs ksh -c 'mv $* '"${3}" foobar

Just speculating...

A summary of options is included below. -v --verbose Print whole font pattern for each match. -? --help Show summary of options. -V --version Show version of the program and exit. -s --sort Displays sorted list of best matching fonts. font-pattern Displays fonts matching font-pattern (uses empty pattern by default).
