Command Line Maximum

[Kevin Morris]

Hi,
I have a script that uses mv to move a set of files. Whenever there are a very large number of files it fails, the reason: command line limit of a shell. I think xargs will resolve this problem, my question is how do I find this limit and any pointers on how to use xargs with the mv command in a bash script.
Thanks
Kevin
