I have a script to tar up some older files. It did a find and mv, but I had to change it to preserve the directory structure because some of the directories now have duplicate nameed files. I changed...

But the directories that I am searching, have both names in them and the find command finds them both flawlessly when I run it from the command line prompt. It is only in the ksh script that it...

sb008,
Your solution worked great on our Sun Solaris box, but some of the boxes are HP running SUSE Linux and it ignored the TZ command there.
