This shell script uses find to recurse through the directories and locate
*.htm files.  It calls sed to do the search and replace.  You can remove
the "rm $i.bak" line if you wish to keep a backup copy of the files.

#! /bin/sh
# filename: replaceall.sh
find . -type f -name '*.htm' -print | while read i
do
        cp $i $i.bak &&
        sed 's|@home|@attbi.com|g' ${i}.bak > $i
        rm $i.bak
done
