Hello.

Whilst I am surprised that the rename command appears to not have a -r
switch, to perform recursively, you might be interested in the
following.

In searching (using the duck duck go search engine from Seamonkey)
using the search terms

that Ubuntu Linux has all of the involved functionalities.

I hope that this is helpful.
