| Desired Action | Change mv ./*.old ./.*.old ../old/ while avoiding an "Argument list too long" error if there are a large number of files ending with .old (and avoiding "No such file or directory" errors if no files match ./*.old or ./.*.old). to mv ./*.old ./.old ./.*.old ../old/ while avoiding an "Argument list too long" error if there are a large number of files ending with .old and without running mv if there are no such files (and avoiding "No such file or directory" errors if ./.old does not exist or no files match ./*.old or ./.*.old). | ||||
