Chmod

[Jeffrey W. Stewart]

I have a directory hp3070/boards
The boards directory has items like
724781
724782

In each of the 724xxx directories are other directories and files. The directories I am interested in are the analog, digital, fixture, and mixed. Let's say I need to modify the analog directory in each of the 724xxx directories. Would the path be /hp3070/boards/*/analog? If the path is correct can u also uses chmod and have,
find /hp3070/boards/*/analog | chmod 775 *

I have been trying to use the find command and now thinking I may need to use the grep command.

Hi Jeffrey,

You must execute:

find /hp3070/boards/*/analog -exec chmod 775 {} \;

I would use:

find /hp3070/boards -type d -name analog | xargs chmod 755

This will search trough your directory findign all directories (-type d) with the name analog. The resutlign list is piped to chmod with the xargs command.

This will set the permissions to 755 to all directories called analog. If you need to change the permissions for files and directories under this analog directory you have to use chmod -R.

Hope this helps

It's easy:
chmod -R 775 /hp3070/boards/*/analog

this will change every directory, and sub-directories, under analog (included).
good luck.

ll /hp3070/boards/*/analog|awk ' {print $9}'|xargs chmod 755

If you want to chmod all files and directorys down :be

chmod -R /hp3070/boards/*/analog

If you want to chmos only directorys then you need to use find:

find /hp3070/boards/*/analog -type d | xargs chmod 755
