If I may, try the following:
#v+
#!/bin/sh
for file in *
do
ucfile=`echo $file | tr [:lower:] [:upper:]`
if [ -f $file ] && [ ! $ucfile -ef $file ]
then
cp $file $ucfile
fi
done
#v-
That's assuming that you want any files with all uppercase filenames to
be ignored. The only syntactical error that I saw was the '$*' instead
of '*' on the first non-comment line.
