Find and Rename File using Terminal
I need help finding a file through terminal and then renaming it automatically.

Here is what I have so far to find the file:
Code:
cd /User/Applications
find . */SourceM.app/banner.png | while read line; do mv "$line" banner-.png; done

I want the script to rename the file "banner.png" to "banner-.png"

The issue I have with the above script is that it stops partially through searching the directory.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

libssh2_session_banner_set

libssh2_session_banner_set(3)					  libssh2 manual				     libssh2_session_banner_set(3)

NAME

       libssh2_session_banner_set - set the SSH prococol banner for the local client

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libssh2.h>

       int libssh2_session_banner_set(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session, const char *banner);

DESCRIPTION

       session - Session instance as returned by libssh2_session_init_ex(3)

       banner - A pointer to a zero-terminated string holding the user defined banner

       Set  the  banner that will be sent to the remote host when the SSH session is started with libssh2_session_handshake(3) This is optional; a
       banner corresponding to the protocol and libssh2 version will be sent by default.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns 0 on success or negative on failure.  It returns LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN when it would otherwise block. While LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN	is
       a negative number, it isn't really a failure per se.

ERRORS

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC -  An internal memory allocation call failed.

AVAILABILITY

       Added in 1.4.0.

       Before 1.4.0 this function was known as libssh2_banner_set(3)
