>From the Sucv3 description of mv, at http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/utilities/mv.html
"3. If the destination path exists, and it is a file of type directory and source_file is not a file of type directory, or it is a file not of type directory and source_file is a file of type directory, mv shall write a diagnostic message to standard error, do nothing more with the current source_file, and go on to any remaining source_files." With mv from GNU coreutils-5.2.0 the following will succeed. # touch foo # mkdir bar # mv foo bar However the destination path is of type directory, and source_file is not a directory, so for GNU mv to be SuSv3 compliant it should complain. I didnt see anything documenting this difference in behaviour, im not sure if its intentional or not.
