Everything is in the announcements. It was moved out of cygutils in
1.3.0 and into util-linux:

Dear all,
I've started using cygwin relatively recently, and I have cygutils
1.3.2-1 installed. This version of cygutils does not appear to include
the rename utility: if, at a cygwin prompt, I type "rename", I receive
the message, "bash: rename: command not found".
My questions are:
1) Was the rename utility removed from cygutils at some point between
version 1.2.6-1 and 1.3.2-1, or is my version of cygutils somehow
corrupt?
2) If it was removed, why, and is there some other way I can obtain
the rename utility under cygwin? (NB. please don't just suggest I use
"for i in *; do mv ${i} ${i#foo}; done", etc. - I'm asking
specifically for the rename *utility*, not a rename capability.)
Many thanks in advance,
Sam

I just checked a couple of my Linux boxes and there is a rename in /usr/bin/ I suspect that most old-time UNIX weenies (myself included) have never used it. I always used "mv".

Look here: >http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/ You may have these >tools installed "on Linux" or not. I suppose I should know better than to make a simple casual remark. As anyone who uses linux knows, the util-linux package is intended to be included with a linux distribution. That is why you found it on kernel.org rather than "my-special-linux-tools.org". So, it is no surprise that the rename from util-linux is available un FC*, RH7.2, RH9, Gentoo, SuSE, (AFAICT) Mandrake, and (AFAICT) Slackware. And, as has been pointed out, although Debian (and presumably Ubuntu) use util-linux, the version of rename is a different package with similar functionality. I'm sure there must be a minor linux installation out there which doesn't have a program of that name but that is really not a concern for this list and really doesn't merit all that much attention here. If your version of linux doesn't include 'rename' then find one that does or build it yourself from scratch. It certainly isn't hard. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cygutils-1.2.7-1
>$ head -1 /usr/bin/rename >#!/usr/bin/perl -w Yes, Debian includes a perl script /usr/bin/rename, which seems more powerful than Cygwin rename: NAME rename - renames multiple files SYNOPSIS rename [ -v ] [ -n ] [ -f ] perlexpr [ files ] DESCRIPTION "rename" renames the filenames supplied according to the rule specified as the first argument. The perlexpr argument is a Perl expression which is expected to modify the $_ string in Perl for at least some of the filenames specified. If a given filename is not modified by the expression, it will not be renamed. If no filenames are given on the command line, filenames will be read via standard input. For example, to rename all files matching "*.bak" to strip the extension, you might say rename 's/\.bak$//' *.bak To translate uppercase names to lower, you'd use rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' * This is a more powerful approach, because it uses Perl regexps. OTOH, that makes it hard for non-Perl initiates to use. Maybe this rename could also be included in Cygwin under a different name, say rename2 or prename.
