How to append copyright to all files?
I have one file that contain copyright notice, that I would like to append to all files in our directory structure (excluding binaries). How can I do that? Thanks for your help!

Use a loop like this:

Code:
for i in *.txt; do
  cat copyrightfile "$i" > tempfile
  mv tempfile "$i"
done

How do you determine whether a file is binary or not?

The following scripts assumes a command or function is_binary that tests the file. You need to supply that test.

Code:
cd /top/of/your/directory/structure

copyrightfile=/path/to/file

copyright=$( cat "$copyrightfile" )

find . -type f |
 while IFS= read -r file
 do
   is_binary "$file" ||
   printf "%s\n" "$copyright" >> "$file"
 done

Code:
for i in `ls -l | grep ^- | awk '{print $9}'`
do
 cat copyright.txt >> $i
done
