Why not mv? cp won't work great for non-regular files.
To ensure that in the event of a failure the original file is unaffected.
in that case, mv doesn't affect the file not even its inode, it
affects the current directory, it's just a rename. A failing
rename just leaves things as they are.
Huh, I didn't realise that "mv" was totally safe. Then I'd just use:
for f in *\ *
do
n="${f// /_}"
[ ! -f "$n" ] &&
mv -- "$f" "$n"
done
Thanks for the tip.
