Don't know about mmv on debian, but here's something I got from a colleague
of mine. Works like a charm !
mmv()
{
if [ $# -lt 2 ]
then
echo "Usage: mmv .<old suffix> .<new_suffix> <File list>"
fi
local old_suffix=$1
local new_suffix=$2
shift
shift
local i=1
for i in $@
do
name=`basename $i $old_suffix`
if [ -e "$i" -a "$name" != $i ]
then
printf "%-20s -> %-30s\n" $i $name$new_suffix
mv $i $name$new_suffix
fi
done
}
