BTW, doesn't this seem more like a PCP_BINADM_DIR utility than
a PCP_BIN_DIR one ... ?  Probably noone will ever need to run

have tended to go by in the past.

Well I actually _do_ run this by hand.

In one pmlogger farm I have passing pastoral care for, there are currently 5,000 pcp archives from 55 hosts. Things do not go wrong that often, but when something goes wrong I may have to juggle a _lot_ of archives.

In at least on case in the past, pmlogmv would have saved me accidentally destroying months of archive data!

I will definitely use it from the command line ... and more often than I'd run pmlogger from the command line, and pmlogger is currently installed in the same /usr/bin as pmlogmv.
