Something like this:
file * | sed -n -e '/JPEG/s/^\([^:]*\):.*/mv \1 \1.jpeg/p' | sh
If you may have empty files or PNGs in there too, this'll only touch
the jpegs. If you have some files that already have an extension,
it's easy enough to change the regexp to toss it away:
file * | sed -n -e '/JPEG/s/^\([^:][^:]*\)\.*[^.]*:.*/mv \1 \1.jpeg/p' | sh
If you're sure that all the files do not have an extension and they
are all jpegs, then the much simpler
for f in *
do
mv $i $i.jpeg
done
may be used.
