rename oldname newname oldname.*

Renames files selected by the expression oldname.* replacing oldname with newname.

Given a directory of files with names:
oldname.info oldname.install oldname.module README.txt

Running the above command would result in:
newname.info newname.install newname.module README.txt

Do a man rename for more info.
