I came across examples of using the find command in the thread
https://www.unix.com/unix-for-dummies-questions-and-answers/15222-ls-help.html?s=. It looks like probably some variation of a find / -mtime -63 will be included in the command. But how do I concatenate the mv command with the find? I tried searching for "concatenate commands" and "combine commands" in the forum but didn't come up with something that will assist me in this regard. Is there some sort of syntax that's to be followed when telling UNIX to move files that are older than x days old, in the above-example, 63 days old?
--- Edit ---
I tried executing mv * /DestinationDirectory/ | find / -mtime -63 but it started to go through the entire mount or something. I saw directories UNIX was checking that I didn't even want it to go through.
I was in the directory that I wanted to move the files for that were older than sixty days when I typed pwd to make sure I was in the right location.
