If you want to make every file lowercase:
shell> for i in *; do mv $i `echo $i | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`; done
For the other way around (every file uppercase):
shell> for i in *; do mv $i `echo $i | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]'`; done
You'll get some gripes if files are already uppercase or
lowercase, depending on which you do, but it won't hurt anything. You
could do it more elegantly, but this is quick. :) Other than these two
ops, you'd have to do something more specific...
