There may be smarter ways to do this but here is one way: for f in *.xxx ; do mv "$f" "${f%.xxx}.zzz"; done This will rename all *.xxx files to *.zzz $f represents each file ending in ".xxx". ${f%.xxx} strips off the ".xxx" then we add on ".zzz" Put it in a small shell script (called mvext, for "move extension"): #! /bin/bash for f in *.$1 ; do mv "$f" "${f%.$1}.$2"; done Now you can say mvext xxx zzz to change all *.xxx to *.zzz -- ____________________________________________________________________ Robert Paulsen -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
for f in *.xxx ; do mv "$f" "${f%.xxx}.zzz"; done
This will rename all *.xxx files to *.zzz
The reason why mv *.xxx *.zzz works in DOS, but not in Unix is that Unix shells expand wildcards and pass the whole list of files to 'mv'. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

ure, but $ mv '*.xxx' '*.zzz' will not be expanded and could have worked in unix (but doesn't, will return: mv: *.xxx: No such file or directory) -- hw -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
Hi, Is there a package/tool/technique that will enable me to send an SMS message to my mobile when a 'job' completes instead of an email? For instance, I have several CRON jobs that send an email if a 'script' is unsuccessful, and I would like it to send me a message on my mobile phone instead.

You might want to ask your mobile phone service provider about that... The question you want to ask is: Do you have an email to SMS gateway? or if the person you are talking to is not technically inclined: Does my phone have an email address? If they do, you should probably send messages to an address like XXXXX@sms.phonecompany.com, where XXXXX is your mobile phone number. If they don't, I think the only option would be to get a second mobile and have it hooked up to your computer and send the SMS through it. Probably too expensive and time-consuming.

Hi Phil, I cannot say much about that, but remembered that collegues at work do exactly the thing. There is "Yaps", available via: http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/serialcomm/machines/!INDEX.html If it's not on the SuSE CD The sad thing is, that it will work only with modems (not ISDN) and not all numbers are supported. (Speaking about germany. No clue for the US) It also involves messing around with /etc/yaps.rc. If this doesn't help, well I'll get you into direct contact. These things seem to be provider dependent. Good luck Juergen

If mv expanded such a patterns it would be impossible to handle file names with embedded asterisks. There's another tool for this specific job: mmv. mmv "*.xxx" "#1.zzz" Ciao, Stefan -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
you need mmv (multiple move), see man mmv. On Sat, 27 May 2000, tabanna wrote:
