That's a bit odd looking, but <command> gets executed for each file
found, replacing '{}' with the name. For example:-
find -mtime -2 -iname 'foo*' -exec mv '{}' /folder1/folder2
(The first time, you may want to do..
find -mtime -2 -iname 'foo*' -exec echo mv '{}' /folder1/folder2
)
That should be:-
find -mtime -2 -iname 'foo*' -exec mv '{}' /folder1/folder2 \;
find -mtime -2 -iname 'foo*' -exec echo mv '{}' /folder1/folder2 \;
(In other words, \; was missing off the end)
