(My email backlog is pretty long...)
I have several scripts in $HOME/bin or /usr/local/bin, but for
commands used in a particular directory, I usually just add the line
to a plain text file cmd in that directory. Sometimes it will be
convenient to execute the whole file as a script, but more

You could do both with a hard link.

After a night's sleep, I realized I might even be able to make Ben happy:
#!/bin/sh
cd /path/to/toplevel/dir
find -type d | while read i
do
grep moe $i/* /dev/null echo $i
done | while read d
do
mv $d /path/to/destination || echo mv for $d didn't work: $?
done

Oh, a challenge, eh? ;-)

Could be just:

Looking for some guidance;
I have several files within several folders (5 files per folder, and
thousands of folders) that I need to search a text file within each
folder for a word match (like three_little_pigs.txt, and I need to find
moe, if he's listed) and then when a match is found I need
grep -r greps all files recursively.
grep -l outputs only the names of files which contain matching text.
To move the folders, you would have to process that output to select the
directory, then move the directory. Probably a perl or shell scripting
task.
AFAIK grep has nothing so specific as

Hmmm, does the find execute concurrently with the grep? If it
does, then you're liable to confuse the hell out of

Interesting point. Three replies:
1) If you're mv'ing onto the same filesystem, the inodes will never
change, and it won't matter.
2) I imagine grep will only spit out a status (which is what the
parses) after it's finished running, though I'd have to verify that
empirically.
3) You can cheat,
Wups! Sorry -- I read your question wrong: Does *find* run
concurrently*. I'd had other concerns, and mis-read your question to fit
my thinking. D'oh! It's been my experience that find doesn't get
confused, it just gets miffed, and moves on.

Do you create a file with scripts and comments?
Do you post it in a wiki?
A blog?
An IDE with snippets?
Do you remember it
