Bug I do I execute several files in a directory
I have a directory with several files with commands inside:

file1
file2
file3
...
file n

I want to make a script that will execute the commands in this files one by one and move the files to another directory.
When there is no more files in the directory the script ends.

Can you help?

Thanks Smilie

Nagomes,
See if this works for you:
Code:
for mFile in file*
do
  $mFile
  mv $mFile <new_directory>
done
