Hi David, Do you have an `mv` function defined? The output of `type mv` will tell you. If you do, you are running into https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/238 which is a longstanding problem with fish shell, and you may be able to work around it by using `command mv ... &`, or removing the function. Hope that helps, David Adam zanc...@ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au
