Sequential numbering from 1 to ten
Hi I am in a bind, I need create a script that will rename files as they come into a folder with sequential numbering at the begining starting at 1 and proceeding to ten then starting at 1 again. Such as 1_filename.pdf, 2_filename.pdf, 3_filename.pdf, 4_filename.pdf, 5_filename.pdf, 6_filename.pdf, 7_filename.pdf, 8_filename.pdf, 9_filename.pdf, 10_filename.pdf it has to continue as long as new files are entering the folder. I was thinking of using a while loop to do this. but its late and my brains are shutting off.
Any help would be much appreciated

DESCRIPTION
Converts files from .ps/.ps.gz/.pdf to .djvu by running them through a web server willing to perform this task.

BUGS
Using a web-based encoder server is a stop-gap measure until better encoders enjoy wide free distribution.
There is a security issue in operating on documents not intended for widespread distribution, which could be partially although not com-
pletely ameliorated by using a secure web connection.
