I am not quite sure what you are asking
but if you want two concurrent threads on the find command at the same time from what I understand you would use something like this
find -follow -mtime 0 -o -mtime -5 f -fls file1 -printf "%i %c%p\n" > file2
the syntax for find and printf using %? is different and listed in your man pages under printf fprintf print0 fprint0 and print this includes the type of output in the listing, the time, and the type of output of the names of the files listed.. in the example I gave you -fls will redirect to file1 and -printf will redirect to file2 if you want a redirect and and and stndout use printf the same way without redirecting to file2.. this way you have a specific type of listing in file1 and your own defined stndout on the screen from printf...
i for inode.... c for last change time with day time and date p for name of files or f for name of files without directories listed before..etc etc etc
hope that helps ... try man find for more information

mv(1) General Commands Manual mv(1)
Name
mv - move or rename files
Syntax
mv [-i] [-f] [-] file1 file2
mv [-i] [-f] [-] file... directory
Description
The command moves (changes the name of) file1 to file2.
If file2 already exists, it is removed before file1 is moved. If file2 has a mode which forbids writing, prints the mode and reads the
standard input to obtain a line. If the line begins with y, the move takes place. If it does not, exits. For further information, see
In the second form, one or more files (plain files or directories) are moved to the directory with their original file-names.
The command refuses to move a file onto itself.
Options
- Interprets all following arguments as file names to allow file names starting with a minus.
-f Force. This option overrides any mode restrictions or the -i switch.
-i Interactive mode. If a move is to supersede an existing file, the system prompts youw with the name of the file fol-
lowed by a question mark. If you type a string that begins with y, the move occurs. If you type any other response,
the move does not occur.
Restrictions
If file1 and file2 lie on different file systems, must copy the file and delete the original. In this case the owner name becomes that of
the copying process and any linking relationship with other files is lost.
