  This script allows you to backup and restore file properties. It backups the
  permissions, owners and groups of all files and folders including all subfolders.
  IT DOES NOT BACKUP THE FILES AND FOLDERS THEMSELVES !!!

  Usage: ./allrights.pl  [DIR | OPTION]

  Examples: ./allrights.pl
            ./allrights.pl --help
            ./allrights.pl /folder1/folder2
            ./allrights.pl ./folder2

  DIR:
  Directory were to start the backup (starting point of recursive descend)
 
  OPTIONS:
  ?, help, -help, --help will display this help text
 
  Without parameter the starting point for the backup will be the current working directory   
   
   
  BACKUP
  ------
  Run the script including the path to the directory you want to backup or run it inside this
  directory without paramters. Two executable files will be created within this folder:
 
  permissions_backup.sh
  ownergroup_backup.sh
 
  Both are simple shell scripts which do not need Perl and can be run independently.
  The program backups hidden files and hidden folders also. But note that symbolic links
  will be ignored. If a symbolic link points to a file outside of the saved directory tree,
  this file will remain unchanged too.
  If a user name or group name does not exist any more in /etc/passwd or /etc/group the uid or
  gid itself will be written into the backup files instead of the names. This happens if
  a group or user has been deleted, but files with these ids still exist.
   
   
  RESTORE
  -------
  You can run the two backup scripts independently. If you want to restore permissions
  and owner/group just run both. In case you have removed some files since the last
  backup, the script output will show you which files couldn't be found.

I need your help... some one say me i need a parser... but where read about??

Thanks for your time

That has got to be one of best formatted & commented programs I have ever read. Nice work.

Unfortunately, however, I think that Perl is the wrong thing to use on the the output of a CLI tool like ls.

I think the essence of what you are trying to do is something like this:
Code:
# save the starting point
DIR0=`pwd`

# I would make these script names MUCH shorter
MOD_SH="permissions_backup.sh"
OWN_SH="ownergroup_backup.sh"

MOD_PERM='711'
OWN_PERM='711'

# these format strings are key to using the stat command
MOD_STAT="%a"
#OWN_STAT="%U:%O"    # this fails on deleted names
OWN_STAT="%u:%o"
# given that their names are longer than their values,
# defining them may be pointless, but it's safer

# qualify $1
if [ -d $1 ]
then cd $1
else echo "$1 is not a directory" ; exit 1
fi
# add more code if this isn't enough

cd $1
DIRS=`ls -R  | grep -o '^[.][^:]*'`
for D in "$DIRS"
do
  cd "$D"

  # set up restore scripts
  echo '' > $MOD_SH
  chmod $MOD_PERM $MOD_SH
  echo '' > $OWN_SH
  chmod $OWN_PERM $OWN_SH
  # I don't check for or try to rename earlier files

  for F in `ls -A`
  do
      echo "chmod `stat -c "$MOD_STAT" "$F"` >> $MOD_SH
      echo "chmod `stat -c "$OWN_STAT" "$F"` >> $OWN_SH
  done
done

cd $DIR0
Warnings & Disclaimers

I have not been able to test all my code, only some key elements.

In spite of your fine efforts, I don't read Perl easily, so I may may missed some features you included.

I especially think you have more elaborate processing of deleted users & groups, I have made no provision for detecting those.

I don't understand why you used the "-a" option in ls. I think "-A" is better because I can't see re-processing the '.' & '..' directory entries. This may mean I am seriously missing something you are trying to do.

I also don't understand why you used the "-s" & "-h" options at all. Again, I may be missing something, but I thought all you are interested in are the ownership & permissions.

As the comment says:
"# I don't check for or try to rename earlier files".
I think that rather than exiting it would be friendlier to make sequentially numbered backups of any earlier scripts.

Although you mentioned a "txt" in your actual Q, I chose not to make a file listing either the flies or directories processed. That could easily be changed.

Even if you continue developing this in Perl, I hope
stat & ls -A will be useful to you.

Not exactly
 
I have .txt file result of ls -shalR i need... adapt the code i publish... for work with this result (txt)

Some one say me i need parser... or something like that...

I preciate your time and help, i don't write the script is from someone else...

Very good code no??? i am really happy for this programmers share your code for others can learn.

archtoad6 09-14-2007 07:15 PM
Sorry, I don't do Perl -- can't help further, good luck.

joangopan 09-14-2007 09:20 PM
Thanks!!!
 
No problem men, i really preciate your comment and help, i need to think and start to learn to solve this problem but!!! thanks thanks for real
