sure, name it nos (or some such).
#!/bin/sh
for i in *
do
if [ -d $i ];then
cd $i
nos
cd ..
else
echo $i |grep ".shtml$" >/dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
j=`basename $i .shtml`
mv $i $j.html
fi
fi
done
Ok, that's a little crude but it works.
Be sure to have the script in your path and
be executable.
