what happens if you mv /file , instead of mv /file . ?
I just did this with a file by mistake, and cannot seem to find it. I went to the root directory and ran this:
touch newfile.for.testing
mv newfile.for.testing ,
the file seems gone
info mv and man mv reveal nothing to the . or .. features that I use all the time.
I also tried this:
there is no file named "," in the original nor destination folder. Also, doing a locate , did not find anything there as to where it went...
Interestingly enough I do a locate for the old file name and see it where it was:
/backup/cpbackup/weekly/account_login/mysql
/backup/cpbackup/weekly/account_login/mysql/account_login_db1.sql
/backup/cpbackup/weekly/account_login/mysql/account_login_db2.sql
/backup/cpbackup/weekly/account_login/mysql/account_login.sql
When I go there, to /backup/cpbackup/weekly/account_login/ and do an ls, there is no mysql folder there
so somehow it seems to be in a sort of linux limbo...
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
