Free batch rename utility software for linux

The file renaming utilities (renameutils for short) are a set of programs designed to make renaming of files faster and less cumbersome.
The file renaming utilities consists of five programs - qmv, qcp, imv, icp and deurlname.
The qmv ("quick move") program allows file names to be edited in a text editor. The names of all files in a directory are written to a text file, which is then edited by the user. The text file is read and parsed, and the changes are applied to the files.
The qcp ("quick cp") program works like qmv, but copies files instead of moving them.
The imv ("interactive move") program, is trivial but useful when you are too lazy to type (or even complete) the name of the file to rename twice. It allows a file name to be edited in the terminal using the GNU Readline library. icp copies files.
The deurlname program removes URL encoded characters (such as %20 representing space) from file names. Some programs such as w3m tend to keep those characters encoded in saved files.
The file renaming utilities are written in C by Oskar Liljeblad, and is free software licensed under terms of the GNU General Public License.
Note that these programs come with no warranty whatsoever. They should be considered beta quality although I have carefully tested them and verified the code. This means that I can not be responsible for any data loss caused by the file renaming utilities. If you are afraid that that is going to happen, run qmv in dummy mode first (see below).
Main features:
- Added new programs, icp and qcp (suggested by Mario Vanoni).
- Quote file names and strings before printing them (like GNU coreutils).
- Make use of more gnulib modules (quotearg, yesno, version-etc).
- Fixed a serious memory management-related bug in imv causing renaming to fail for no reason.
- Fixed a potential segmentation fault when printing a particular error message.
- Added copyright and license header to source files and manual pages.
- Manual page updates:
- Added manual page for deurlname.
- Corrected grammar.
- Removed section in imv about placing it in the Midnight Commander menu.
- Gettext is now external (no intl directory).
- Use Gnulib properly (modules.gnulib and autogen.sh removed).
- Added debian package.
- Added MANIFEST.sources file.
- Fix potential bug in cross-reference solution code.
- Added documentation for qcmd --help from Stephen Kolupaev, thanks.

Email Administration Utility provides an IMAP-based email account management utility.
The Email Administration Utilities package can be used to manage email accounts with a series of PHP-based scripts through a browser.
Addition, Removal, and modification of accounts is possible as long as an IMAP port is available on the mail server.
The Mailadmin project was originally designed to help owners of domains that were hosted by Hub.Org Networking Services. The company wanted users to be able to create, remove or modify email accounts when ever they wanted, giving them a quicker turnaround for Mail Administration Purposes.
As the utility was developed, tested and matured into what it is today, many users requested more features or contributed reports of issues to help improve the utilities stability. Hub.Org has given me permission to release the utility as an Open Source package so that others may also benifit from the simplicity that the Mailadmin utility offers to those who need complete control over email accounts.
With this in mind, I intend to continue development by adding new features as they are requested and fix any issues that may pop up. The more users who use and test the features that the Mailadmin utility offers will help to improve the functionality offered by Mailadmin. I have opened a Sourceforge account to help manage the development and releases of the utility as it matures into what users and developers see the Mailadmin to be.
Main features:
- Administrator:
- Adding/Deleting Email accounts.
- Setting Account Quotas.
- Obtaining Administrative Access Over Older Accounts.
- Changing An Accounts Password.
- Interfaces with the Cyrus IMAP/POP3 server.
