Full Discussion: Mv command in for loop - not working
Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Mv command in for loop - not working Post 303004833 by Scott on Tuesday 10th of October 2017 04:54:49 AM

It's strange that you're trying to move what could be multiple files into a single one.

e.g.
Code:
$ touch 1 2 3 4
$ mv 1 2 3 4
usage: mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source target
       mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source ... directory

Change
Code:
mv ${A}${CR_YR}*.TXT ${A}${ydate}.TXT

To:
Code:
echo "mv ${A}${CR_YR}*.TXT ${A}${ydate}.TXT"

What does that say?

You should probably change the for-loop spec to use the actual filenames (or better a while-loop for handling files in this way)

shishi_realm_for_server_dns

shishi_realm_for_server_dns(3)					      shishi					    shishi_realm_for_server_dns(3)

NAME

       shishi_realm_for_server_dns - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <shishi.h>

       char * shishi_realm_for_server_dns(Shishi * handle, char * server);

ARGUMENTS

       Shishi * handle
		   Shishi library handle create by shishi_init().

       char * server
		   hostname to find realm for.

DESCRIPTION

       Find  realm  for a host using DNS lookups, according to draft-ietf-krb-wg-krb-dns-locate-03.txt.  Since DNS lookups may be spoofed, relying
       on the realm information may result in a redirection attack.  In a single-realm scenario, this only achieves a denial of service, but  with
       cross-realm  trust  it  may redirect you to a compromised realm.  For this reason, Shishi prints a warning, suggesting that the user should
       add the proper 'server-realm' configuration tokens instead.

       To illustrate the DNS information used, here is an extract from a zone file for the domain ASDF.COM:

       _kerberos.asdf.com.	       IN      TXT	"ASDF.COM"  _kerberos.mrkserver.asdf.com.    IN       TXT      "MARKETING.ASDF.COM"  _ker-
       beros.salesserver.asdf.com. IN	   TXT	   "SALES.ASDF.COM"

       Let us suppose that in this case, a client wishes to use a service on the host foo.asdf.com.  It would first query:

       _kerberos.foo.asdf.com. IN TXT

       Finding no match, it would then query:

       _kerberos.asdf.com. IN TXT

RETURN VALUE

       Returns realm for host, or NULL if not found.
