Not that I'm aware of, however, MacOSX is not case sensitive, as I understand. It is a Unix variant, but it can cause problems.
You could always write a script that charges through your filesystem, finding file with CAPS, and automatically change your names to lower-case. Although, that in itself would cause problems with configuration files
(/etc/HOSTNAME on Linux systems, for example)

If I'm using a program that is expecting certain filenames and directories to be all CAPS, isn't there a way to ignore this in linux/cshell scripting? I.e., similiar to ignoring spaces with " (i.e., directory is directory 1, can ignore by typing "directory 1".) ?? (2 Replies)

hostname
HOSTNAME(5) hostname HOSTNAME(5)
NAME
hostname - Local hostname configuration file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/hostname
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/hostname file configures the name of the local system that is set during boot using the sethostname(2) system call. It should
contain a single newline-terminated hostname string. The hostname may be a free-form string up to 64 characters in length; however, it is
recommended that it consists only of 7-bit ASCII lower-case characters and no spaces or dots, and limits itself to the format allowed for
DNS domain name labels, even though this is not a strict requirement.
Depending on the operating system, other configuration files might be checked for configuration of the hostname as well, however only as
fallback.
You may use hostnamectl(1) to change the value of this file from the command line.
HISTORY
The simple configuration file format of /etc/hostname originates from Debian GNU/Linux.
