Any idea? /tmp/ does not have any files inside
As its name suggest, content of /tmp is often fugitive. If you want to get the message, use a script such as: #!/bin/sh for i in `seq 1 50000`; do echo "----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------" echo "----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------" cp /tmp/mail.* /whatever/ echo "num = $i " echo "----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------" echo "----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------" done Echos are only there to speed down the loop.
