I need to copy and rename (and then edit) a group of files in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
folder. The files are ifcfg-eth1:*
I have ifcfg-eth1
through ifcfg-eth1:121
but need to extend with more addresses, so I want to copy e.g ifcfg-eth1:22
and ifcfg-eth1:23
into ifcfg-eth1:122
and ifcfg-eth1:123
and then edit the copy.
I know how to edit, but not how to copy and rename. Found a lot of renaming info on this site, but I think I don't get the : part right...
How do I handle filenames including ":" ??

in a filename (except that Windows FAT filesystem doesn't allow that character) – frostschutz Jul 5 '13 at 11:45
