The & is a special character to the shell. The command is cut off at that point. So the shell takes everything before it as a command to run in the background.
And then afterwards will run the following command:
Which creates a variable named file with a value of filename1.gz intended for the environment of the command filename1.gz (which of course doesn't exist and so you get that command not found error).
To fix that mv command, quote any arguments with shell metacharacters. In your example, aside from the &, the ? is also special.

I don't understand why you don't like that simple while-loop. Did you run it? If so, was it unacceptably slow? Did it give you an erroneous result?
Hello there,
İ want to ask a very simple question. I want to read the output messages of wget both in terminal and also put them into a text file.
i know that by using -o flag, i can log the messages into a text file but then i won't be able to see them on terminal.
I'd appreciate any help... (1 Reply)
