OK
But I want this script to work on later kernels and 64bit versions as well.

1. Will all of the files you want to rename be in the same directory? If so, what is the name of that directory? If not, what are the names of all of the directories that will contain pdf files you want to rename?
Yes they will all be in the same directory, /media/PDF which is also mounted as an smb share on the LAN.

2. What is the name of the directory where you want to place the renamed pdf files?
somewhere like /media/new_PDF but please make it apparent so I can alter it :-)

If you want a script to run every 30 seconds, cron won't be sufficient; its finest granularity is 1 minute. And, if the system is busy, you could end up having two copies of your script running at the same time.
Thanks I didn't know this, is there a better method to achieve this?

If you run a script to rename files every few minutes after a file is converted, the likelihood that the current date and the file's creation date are different is pretty low (especially if the front end people who create the pdf files don't work between 11pm and 1am).
How do I write the command to find all files with any lower case letters in the filename? I have tried
find . -name *\(a-z\) and a lot of combinations like that, without success.
thanks

Hi, guys, I'm not a high-end programmer, but I've been trying to write a script to remove all of the b.rtbn2.cn (and b.adserv.cn and any future variation) injected script tags on the server. (Still working on security fixes to prevent it in the future, just need to clean up now.)

Hi,
Can anyone let me know the command to know the list of filenames that have string 31 in their 4th and 5th positions inside the file:
grep -l "31" main*.txt
The above grep lists all the files which have 31 at any position but I want filenames having 31 at position 4 and position 5. (8 Replies)

rename
RENAME(1) User Commands RENAME(1)NAME
rename - rename files
SYNOPSIS
rename [options] expression replacement file...
DESCRIPTION
rename will rename the specified files by replacing the first occurrence of expression in their name by replacement.
OPTIONS -v, --verbose
Give visual feedback which files where renamed, if any.
-V, --version
Display version information and exit.
-s, --symlink
Peform rename on symlink target
-h, --help
Display help text and exit.
EXAMPLES
Given the files foo1, ..., foo9, foo10, ..., foo278, the commands
rename foo foo0 foo?
rename foo foo0 foo??
will turn them into foo001, ..., foo009, foo010, ..., foo278. And
rename .htm .html *.htm
will fix the extension of your html files.
WARNING
The renaming has no safeguards. If the user has permission to rewrite file names, the command will perform the action without any ques-
tions. For example, the result can be quite drastic when the command is run as root in the /lib directory. Always make a backup before
running the command, unless you truly know what you are doing.
SEE ALSO mmv(1), mv(1)AVAILABILITY
The rename command is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
