First, navigate to the folder that contains the file in question (or minimize all program windows if this file happens to be on the desktop).This (i.e., /usr/bin/[), and not the shell's [ builtin, is what find runs when you use -exec [.Determine the "Created Date" of files and foldersįollow these steps to get the date when a file was created: man \[ and 16.3 test: Check file types and compare values in the Coreutils docs.man mv and the GNU Coreutils reference manual (especially 11.4 mv: Move (rename) files).man find and the GNU Findutils reference manual.Then find evaluates the next -exec expression, which prints the warning message. But if [ returned false, the file is still there. If [ returned false, then the file is gone, so it was moved, so there's no need to do anything. (Many commands' exit statuses are best interpreted as signifying success or failure, but ['s exist status is usually best interpreted as true or false.)

you can run: find srcdir -type f -newermt ! -newermt -exec mv -i ) exists (and is a regular file), and returns either true/success or false/failure.
