Using ls in a script for another directory
I am trying to recover a listing of moved error files using the ls command.
This is required to check that files that are deemed error are renamed and moved to the apropriate directory. Problem is, I am not able to get the ls /file path/*.fixed to work. I have tried using a variable i.e. ls ${path}/*.fixed. I can rename and move the files but listing them is a headache.
I am hoping that there is a really simple answer to this.
Any way thanks in advance.

when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
