MANIPULATE MULTIPLE FILES 
If you have a directory with
 large number of files and you
 want to rename or copy or
 process it, here is a simple
 way to do it;
 
 # for temp in *
 > do
 > echo cp $temp $temp.org >> t.txt
 > done
 
 You can change the copy command
 to what ever that you need to
 do. This will create a file
 tmp.txt with all the files
 listed in the current working
 directory and insert a line
 into the file tmp.txt as;
 
 cp filename filename.org
