I have spent 20 minutes or so googling around to find the best way to _move_ a complete directory hierarchy. But must admitt that I haven't foundmany good answers. The best suggestion was from http://badgertronics.com/knowledge/one.adp?parent=25: To move /tmp/blarg to /var: % cd /tmp % tar cvf - blarg | (cd /var; tar xf -) I bet there must be atleast one utils like a binary named "mvdir" or similar that simply taked two directory names as argument. But I can't find any. How do you guys move around your directory structures from prompt? //J
