Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How to log all file that has been move,chmod,chown? Post 302876606 by RudiC on Monday 25th of November 2013 02:58:08 PM

Not sure the OP wants to block anything. I guess he/she wants to log actions performed. To do so, redirect stderr and not stdout, and append to the log file instead of overwriting. And, you may want to use the -v (verbose) options to the commands, if that exists. Like:
Code:
mv -v file?.txt /path/to/destination 2>>log.file
