Not quite understanding ...

I need something that will find the "blablabla..aep Logs" directories and move them into a hidden directory called .LogFiles in their parent directory. I also need it to work on many directories under the current. So that it does not move all "blablabla..aep Logs" to one single directory.

I have a bash script that does this but I have to designate in variable each directory to be processed.
mkdir "$dir01"/.LogFiles
mv -f "$dir01"/*.aep\ Logs "$dir01"/.LogFiles/


I want to do it without having to change the script variables.

Could I accomplish this with a bash script?

NAME
dpns-mkdir - make DPNS directory in the name server SYNOPSIS
dpns-mkdir [-m mode] [-p] path... DESCRIPTION
dpns-mkdir creates the specified DPNS directories in the name server. This requires write permission in the parent directory. The owner ID and group ID of the new directories are set to the requestor's real user ID and group ID, respectively. path specifies the DPNS pathname. If path does not start with /, it is prefixed by the content of the DPNS_HOME environment variable. The dpns-mkdir command has the following options: -m specifies the mode to be used. Default mode is 777. -p creates all the non-existing parent directories first. The mode set for the created intermediate directories is the logical differ- ence between 0777 and the user umask but at least 0300. EXIT STATUS
This program returns 0 if the operation was successful or >0 if the operation failed. SEE ALSO
