Permissions
 
What is the command to grant everyone full permissions to /u1/database and its subdirectories?

What is the command to check the directory permission?

raskin 07-07-2006 03:32 AM
man chmod
man ls
chmod -R a+rwX /u1/database
ls -ld /u1/database

just use "ls -l" or "stat" to check permissions in general, and use chmod to change permissions on a file.

I initially thought the uppercase X was a typo, but found later it is in fact a smart chmod feature I was missing.

Thanks for advertising it!

I had to check the manpages after doing
Code:
chmod -R a+rwX bin/
to see what it did (couldn't find out myself eh!)

Quote:
The letters rwxXstugo select the new permissions for the affected users: read (r), write (w), execute (or access for directories) (x), execute only if the file is a directory or already has execute permission for some user (X),
nice ;)
