How to Rename a Directory on Linux

Your Data Is Safe

Renaming directories is something we all need to do from time to time.

We might create a directory and misspell its name, and we want to put it right. Often, the purpose of a directory changes over time or through the life of a project, and you want to adjust the name to reflect its new use. Perhaps you’ve decompressed an archive file and it’s created a directory tree with the directory names in uppercase and you’d like them in lowercase. Whatever the reason. renaming a directory doesn’t do anything to the data held inside it. It changes the path to that data, but the files and directories inside your renamed directory aren’t touched.

Don’t rename system directories. Changing the path to system files and commands is going to have a detrimental effect on the running of your computer, to say the least. If you need to use sudo to rename a directory—unless you really know what you’re doing—the chances are you shouldn’t be renaming it.

How to Use Linux Signals in Bash Scripts

Signals are short, fast, one-way messages sent to processes such as scripts, programs, and daemons. They let the process know about something that has happened. The user may have hit Ctrl+C, or the application may have tried to write to memory it doesn’t have access to.

If the author of the process has anticipated that a certain signal might be sent to it, they can write a routine into the program or script to handle that signal. Such a routine is called a signal handler. It catches or traps the signal, and performs some action in response to it.
