Need help renaming bulk file extentions
Hello,

I am trying to rename bulk files however i dont think the rename/mv command is giong to help me here. here is a quick snapshot of the files I need to rename:


75008040 -rw-r----- 1 root root 8716 May 8 05:00 10.9.144.2
75008041 -rw-r----- 1 root root 11700 May 8 05:00 10.9.160.2
75008042 -rw-r----- 1 root root 9019 May 8 05:00 10.9.16.2
75008043 -rw-r----- 1 root root 10011 May 8 05:00 10.9.176.2

I would like the files to look lik this when done:

75008040 -rw-r----- 1 root root 8716 May 8 05:00 10.9.144.2.txt
75008041 -rw-r----- 1 root root 11700 May 8 05:00 10.9.160.2.txt
75008042 -rw-r----- 1 root root 9019 May 8 05:00 10.9.16.2.txt
75008043 -rw-r----- 1 root root 10011 May 8 05:00 10.9.176.2.txt


I think the issues is that thre are many dots int he filename and mv/rename doest understand that. Not suree what I can do. My goal is to figure out he cmmand and run a cron job to do this daily as new files are writin. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

systemd-volatile-root.service

SYSTEMD-VOLATILE-ROOT.SERVICE(8)			   systemd-volatile-root.service			  SYSTEMD-VOLATILE-ROOT.SERVICE(8)

NAME

       systemd-volatile-root.service, systemd-volatile-root - Make the root file system volatile

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-volatile-root.service

       /lib/systemd/systemd-volatile-root

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-volatile-root.service is a service that replaces the root directory with a volatile memory file system ("tmpfs"), mounting the
       original (non-volatile) /usr inside it read-only. This way, vendor data from /usr is available as usual, but all configuration data in
       /etc, all state data in /var and all other resources stored directly under the root directory are reset on boot and lost at shutdown,
       enabling fully stateless systems.

       This service is only enabled if full volatile mode is selected, for example by specifying "systemd.volatile=yes" on the kernel command
       line. This service runs only in the initial RAM disk ("initrd"), before the system transitions to the host's root directory. Note that this
       service is not used if "systemd.volatile=state" is used, as in that mode the root directory is non-volatile.
