There was a thread about that on this list a few months ago. There is no easy solution that will work across multiple versions of Linux. On my RH72 system, this works: cd $targetdir for datafile in `ls -1`; do modifydate=`ls --full-time $datafile | cut -c 44-62` formatteddate=`date -d "$modifydate" +%Y-%m-%d` mv "$datafile" "datafile.$formatteddate" done You'll have to modify the ls command and the columns of characters to cut depending on the version of ls that the system uses.
