Script to change names of files in a directory

geomonap · 12-03-2004, 01:50 PM

Hi guys;
I am fairly new to shell scripting.
How can I change the names of all files starting with 'S' under /etc/rc2.d to starting with 's' except for certain files..say
S20sysetup and S01MOUNTFSYS.

i want to automate the process of stopping uneeded daemons from starting during boottime.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to LQ.

I'm not sure if you realise or not but the best tool to use would be "chkconfig" as it is designed for managing such services.

Thanks, but 'chkconfig' doesn't exist on solaris.
