| May 6, 2018 at 12:40 | comment | added | Kusalananda♦ | @JeremyDavis When using -exec ... {} +, the {} has to be the last thing before the +. This is why he uses mv -t destdir {} + and not mv {} destdir +. One cold have used -exec mv {} destdir ';' instead, but that would have executed mv once for each file. | |
