looks goos but gives me a cut error.

"cut -c 1-5", perhaps the space at the line break was lost somewhere. ^

is it possible to do the same with $RANDOM?

This might work: for i in *.jpg; do echo mv -i $i ${RANDOM::5}.jpg; done Here a version with line breaks at reasonable positions that you can paste into a file and make it executable: #!/bin/bash for i in *.jpg; do echo mv -i $i $(echo ${i%.jpg} | md5sum | cut -c 1-5).jpg; done Gruß Jan -- There is no such thing as a "free lunch".
