Thanks for the response and the help. I'm able to get your script working for some reason. Don't I need to specifically specify perl in the command line? A script I found that seems to be kind of working. I'm just not sure how to define which variables to replace. The file types that Box doesn't support are \/*?”<>| Like you, I don't think I've ever see a forward slash in a file name, but Box said to make sure it's not there.
At the command prompt I entered perl rename2.pl Desktop/BoxMigraiton/FILESHARE

Hi all,
I would need a bash script to sync/transfer folders recursively via FTP/RSYNC
(I initially planned to use FTP but I heard RSYNC would fit a lot better for this job(?))
The situation:
3 different Linux servers
1. source
2. destination - Samba
3. Server where the script runs on

Hi, all:
I'd love to use shell script to change all filenames under different folders once for all:
I've got over 100 folders, in each of them, there is a file named "a.ppm". I wanna change all these "a.ppm" to "b.ppm", and still . Visually, the directory structure looks like:

This has been tearing my hair out.

1: compare server1:/data/archive/ to server2:/data/archive/ (through rsync, ssh, etc)
2: filenames that don't match, get copied (scp) to server2:/data/
server1 and server2 have ssh, scp, rsync access between eachother.
Is there any option in... (3 Replies)

Hio, So I have a crontab delete of older files setup. This script works fine if I run them by each individual directory.

Hello,
I made a mistake in a script and now need to go back and change allot of filenames. I need to change "v4" in filenames to "v3". I was thinking of something like this.

FILELIST=$(ls -f -R *)
for FILE in $FILELIST

Background: I use a TV tuner card to capture OTA video files (.mpeg) and then my Plex Media Server automatically optimizes the files (transcodes for better playback) and places them in a new directory. I have another Plex Library pointing to the new location for the optimized .mp4 files. This... (2 Replies)

new
NEW(1) [nmh-1.5] NEW(1)NAME
new - report on folders with new messages
fnext - set current folder to next folder with new messages
fprev - set current folder to previous folder with new messages
unseen - scan new messages in all folders with new messages
SYNOPSIS
new [sequences] [-mode mode] [-folders foldersfile] [-version] [-help]
fnext is equivalent to new -mode fnext
fprev is equivalent to new -mode fprev
unseen is equivalent to new -mode unseen
DESCRIPTION
New in its default mode produces a one-line-per-folder listing of all folders containing messages in the listed sequences or in the
sequences listed in the profile entry "Unseen-Sequence". Each line contains the folder, the number of messages in the desired sequences,
and the message lists from the .mh_sequences file. For example:
foo 11.* 40-50
bar 380. 760-772 824-828
total 391.
The `*' on foo indicates that it is the current folder. The last line shows the total number of messages in the desired sequences.
New crawls the folder hierarchy recursively to find all folders, and prints them in lexicographic order. Override this behavior by provid-
ing foldersfile containing the pre-sorted list of folders new should check, one per line.
In fnext and fprev modes, new instead changes to the next or previous matching folder, respectively.
In unseen mode, new executes scan sequences for each matching folder.
FILES
$HOME/.mh_profile The user profile
PROFILE COMPONENTS
Path: To determine the user's nmh directory
Current-Folder: To find the default current folder
Unseen-Sequence: The name of the unseen message sequence
