i tried another code which worked on one server but other -E flag erroring out.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
#using "shopt -s nullglob" so that an empty directory won't give you a literal '*'
shopt -s nullglob #to make `("$src_dir"*.271)` works
src_dir="/home/zaree/ " 
dest_dir="/home/zaree/test/"
#manually remove both /tmp/error.txt and /tmp/moved.log which will append from time to time.
err_f="/tmp/error.txt"
mv_f="/tmp/moved.log" #record moved file in case network down
email="zaree@xyz.com"
export replyto="<noreply@xyz.com>"
touch "$err_f" #bcoz we use >> apppend
touch "$mv_f" #bcoz we use tee -a append

#mailx only one if mv encounter error, by using break to break early instead of exit 1
#because we still want to know which file has been moved before error occur.
if [ ! -d "$src_dir" ]; then echo|mailx -s "Error: directory $src_dir not exist" "$email" 2>>"$err_f"; exit 1; fi
if [ ! -d "$dest_dir" ]; then echo|mailx -s "Error: directory $dest_dir not exist" "$email" 2>>"$err_f"; exit 1; fi
{
f=("$src_dir"*.beta)
for ((i=0; i < ${#f[@]}; i+=1)); do
        mv -f "${f[i]}" "$dest_dir"  2>>"$err_f"; #-f do not prompt
#Advantage of cmd; if [ $? -eq 0 ] compare to implicitly if cmd is you can easily modify it
#to some other command which might require different return code.
        if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
                if [ "$i" -eq 0 ]; then echo "$(date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")"; echo "The following files has been moved from $src_dir to $dest_dir"; echo; fi
                echo "$((i+1))." "$(basename "${f[i]}")" ; echo;
        else
                 echo| mailx -s "Error:  $(<"$err_f")" "$email" 2>>"$err_f"; break
        fi
done

#mailx -E to avoid empty body, so it wouldn't sent if no file moved
} | tee -a "$mv_f" | mailx -E -s "File move Script" "$email" 2>>"$err_f"

dh_movefiles

DH_MOVEFILES(1) 						     Debhelper							   DH_MOVEFILES(1)

NAME

       dh_movefiles - move files out of debian/tmp into subpackages

SYNOPSIS

       dh_movefiles [debhelperoptions] [--sourcedir=dir] [-Xitem] [file...]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_movefiles is a debhelper program that is responsible for moving files out of debian/tmp or some other directory and into other package
       build directories. This may be useful if your package has a Makefile that installs everything into debian/tmp, and you need to break that
       up into subpackages.

       Note: dh_install is a much better program, and you are recommended to use it instead of dh_movefiles.

FILES

       debian/package.files
	   Lists the files to be moved into a package, separated by whitespace. The filenames listed should be relative to debian/tmp/. You can
	   also list directory names, and the whole directory will be moved.

OPTIONS

       --sourcedir=dir
	   Instead of moving files out of debian/tmp (the default), this option makes it move files out of some other directory. Since the entire
	   contents of the sourcedir is moved, specifying something like --sourcedir=/ is very unsafe, so to prevent mistakes, the sourcedir must
	   be a relative filename; it cannot begin with a `/'.

       -Xitem, --exclude=item
	   Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being installed.

       file ...
	   Lists files to move. The filenames listed should be relative to debian/tmp/. You can also list directory names, and the whole directory
	   will be moved. It is an error to list files here unless you use -p, -i, or -a to tell dh_movefiles which subpackage to put them in.

NOTES

       Note that files are always moved out of debian/tmp by default (even if you have instructed debhelper to use a compatibility level higher
       than one, which does not otherwise use debian/tmp for anything at all). The idea behind this is that the package that is being built can be
       told to install into debian/tmp, and then files can be moved by dh_movefiles from that directory. Any files or directories that remain are
       ignored, and get deleted by dh_clean later.

SEE ALSO
