Hi, as a quick fix I made Mkdir behave by default like mkdir -p. I just committed. To get a similar behavior from Mv, the way suggested by Andy can now be used. Since it seems that almost everybody is using the perl wrapper to access the XrdclientAdmin interface, I'd like not to change it too much often, so it's better to agree about its functions. Just to be practical, I am wondering if simply providing one more parameter to the (perl) functions in order to specify the needed options for the command to send is a solution good both for me and the users of the perl wrapper. What do you think? Fabrizio Andrew Hanushevsky wrote: > Hi Frabrizio, > > No, mv does not have a corresponding flag. You would have to do a mkdir and > ignore the return code ahead of making the mv.
