Normally this would be part of a loop, for example:
| Code: |
files=*.rpm
for f in $files
do
rpm2cpio $f | cpio -ivd
done
|
The do...done define the commands to be repeated for each run of the loop.

Another option for getting at files inside RPM's is to use 7-zip. p7zip is the command line version of it for Linux which may work better than any of the other programs suggested. It's a program I really don't think any computer should be without.
