Re: multiple rars password protected
Are they volumes for a very same archive? or are they independent archives?
Anyway according to the 'unrar -h' the command should be
unrar x -ppassword *.rar
Just change password accordingly.
unrar is available on the repos, I use the free version, not sure what advantage the nonfree version has... -
Re: multiple rars password protected
From the unrar-free package description:Unrar can extract files from .rar archives. Can't handle some archives in the RAR 3.0 format, only the non-free "unrar" package can do that.Comment

Re: multiple rars password protected
Yes, askrieger is right, some archives are only supported by nonfree unrar.
I think eggbanjo would go with this one.
By the way, I like the unp tip. Thanks eggbanjo, it seems handyComment
