SED (or an alternative) would be run on a schedule using cron.

The title pretty much defines the problem. I have text files that are all in caps. I would like to convert them to lowercase, but have the first letter of the first word in each sentence in...

Birei,

Thank you for a wonderfully simple fix. The .* solution works great.

Life is calmer again....

Thank you again,

I have a SED script that has worked for years, but broke today due to a new variable in a remote file. This is the part of the script that now won't work:
