First of all thanks to Paul for his help with the mv command.

Is it possible to have a shell script recurse a directory tree?
Still the same situation as my last email I have a directory tree
with .shtml files.  I want to recurse the directory tree renaming
each .shtml to a .html file. Paul sent me the following script that
allows me to mv all .shtml in a single directory:

#!/bin/sh
for i in *.shtml
do
    j=`basename $i .shtml`
    mv $i $j.html
done

This script works and changes all of the .shtml in the current
directory.  Is their a way I can get the script to recurse my
directory tree?

Many Thanks

James A. Taylor
