That did it! Thanks. Could you explain to me exactly what I did just there. I gather I searched those subdirectories to change the permissions on all the directors and executables therein, what is "{} \:"?
find <subdirectory to start with> -type d -exec chmod go+rx {} ;\
^^^^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^^
all files | |
that are | |
directories | |
| |
tells find part of exec,
to do the it's the placeholder
next command for the name of the
with every found file, plus the
match termination of the exec
statement
Find is one of my all-time favourites ;)
So powerful...
