Script to rename a group of files
Hello,

I have a directory which has the file names as

ap_boise_20091109.Z.20091110
ap_aero_20091020.Z.20091021
.
..
...

I have to remove the time stamp after which is present after Z. as there are thousands of file to do so, is there a simple way to rename those file in a single command or script.

result should be like for the above files as
ap_boise_20091109.Z
ap_aero_20091020.Z
