Hi Guys,
Greatly surprised (and not very happy) that my attempts to list or move files
satisfying a file name pattern (like ls *.tgz for example) fail miserably on
my linux machine, when the number of files satisfying the pattern is large.
Error message example: "/bin/mv: Argument list too long". Is this a bug or a
feature, would you know?
I used to work with a Unix version (Solaris) quite a number of years (decades)
and cannot remember having seen this limitation before.
Any tips?
Regards,
Elisabet Wahlgren
