Suppres error message when moving files from empty source folder

Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

I would like to write a shell script that moves files from one folder to another without retrieving the error 'can not acces/find file or folder' when the source folder is empty.

Any ideas,

Thx in advance,

Steven.

Try using the '-f' option to mv

Try adding the following to the end of your command:

> /dev/null 2>&1

So, if you want to run a command, but don't want any output visible (including errors) it would look like this:

mycommand > /dev/null 2>&1
