That's a one-liner:
% find . -depth -name '*.pem' -print0 | cpio -0pdmu /usr/home/tmp
Actually, that just /copies/ all of the *.pem files to the other director=
y
tree, so if you want to remove the original files, you'ld also need to do=
:
% find . -name '*.pem' -delete=20
once you're sure everything has copied across OK, and with the proviso
that '.' is neither a parent or child of /usr/home/tmp
Cheers,
Matthew
