Hi

I have a problem, I would like to write a bash script or enter a command to rename a list of files numerically.  

ie.

<somecommand> /home/angelo/folder

where the folder above contains a list of files like

img2.jpg
img3.jpg
img4.jpg
img8.jpg
img9.jpg
img12.jpg

and end up with

img1.jpg
img2.jpg
img3.jpg
img4.jpg
img5.jpg
img6.jpg


It would be nice also if I could enter a start number also.


ie.

<somecommand> /home/angelo/folder <startn>

Can anyone help?

Cheers
