How to find a specific file, and move it to the specific directory /var/tmp
?
For example I want to find the file 0914_Jul-2014.gz
.
Remark, the file 0914_Jul-2014.gz
, is under ~300 subdirectories:
/usr/../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../0914_Jul-2014.gz
An example: when I do a
find /usr -name '0914_Jul-2014.gz' -exec mv {} /var/tmp
The result is
mv: cannot stat: File name too long
error.

You can use
find
:Or for extremely nested directory hierarchies
Although as the documentation states you must ensure that your
$PATH
environment variable does not reference the current directory (namely.
) if you use-execdir
