Some times you want to rename a group of files to lower case from upper case. This renaming can be achieved by using a shell script and a tr command which will translate upper case to lower case
Here is my version of the script to do the activity.

#The below for loop will take inputs from ls command will rename all
#the files which contains upper case to lower case except the script file it self.
for j in *
do
if [[ “$j” == “$0” ]]
then
echo “You can not move me”
else
org_file=$j
new_file=$(echo $j | tr [A-Z] [a-z])
echo “Moving $org_file –> $new_file”
mv $org_file $new_file
fi
done
