Yours is similar to the one I was using, until I saw this one posted:
for file in $*
do
mv -i $file `echo $file | tr A-Z a-z`
done
The mv program typically refuses to overwrite an existing file and, having
failed, leaves the original file in place with its original name.
This is free (that's what I paid for it) and comes with a moneyback
guarantee. Your mileage may vary.
