Doesn't recognize the mv command
I'm nearly finished my program i've got everything in place and than when i run it it comes back with the reply mv: command not found. This is the code that seems to be causing the problem.
elif [ $NUM -eq 2 ]
then
echo "There are more than one '$1' files in the system."
echo "Please select from the options below"
echo "1) Deleted from:$PathVar1 Deleted at $TimeVar1 on $DateVar1"
echo "2) Deleted from:$PathVar2 Deleted at $TimeVar2 on $DateVar2"
echo "3) Exit"
echo "Please enter the number of the file that you wish to restore"
read ANSWER
case $ANSWER in
1) mv $1 $PathVar1;;
2) mv $1 $PathVar2;;
3) exit;;
esac
But i can't see anything wrong with it. Why does the cpu not recognize the mv command. Has anyone else experienced this, Please let me know.
