[Bug 414422] Re: sudo: unable to execute /bin/mv: Argument list too long

[Aaron Cossey]

Reproducible but not a bug, this behaviour is caused by normal
shell/process argument limits. Was able to reproduce the same effect
with echo for example.

** Changed in: sudo (Ubuntu)

Title:
  sudo: unable to execute /bin/mv: Argument list too long

Status in “sudo” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: sudo

  i just wanted to exec mv from terminal using sudo to move content of a directory to an other place (in this case downloaded php documentation). 
  there was more than 9000 files in my directory, then i got this message.

  $ sudo mv /home/jerikojerk/Bureau/html/function.* /var/www/php.manuel/
  sudo: unable to execute /bin/mv: Argument list too long

  
  i try laater to use root shell using sudo -s and use mv without "sudo" command, it worked fine.

  i did not tune sudo behavior.
