Dear enhu,

Good information here http://www.debianadmin.com/howto-crack- ... linux.html.

[quote]If you want to unrar a list of files, you could use this command. You don’t necessarily need the quotes, but it helps when the filenames have spaces or something like that in them.

for f in *.rar;do unrar e “$f

You could look into python as well. I've used it to automagically extract, replace/edit files, rearchive, and also recalculate the md5. Should be plenty of info on the google, and/or the python website. Should require only a few libraries, most of which, are likely standard python libraries.
