Umask Seting

Origin Energy — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 05:04:04 GMT

Hi

OS HPUX 11.31
Default umask is 022 for root
if we create a file by using touch command then we are not getting the excute permission for that file.

Can any one help on this.

bash-3.2# touch xml
bash-3.2# ls -l xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 0 Aug 26 15:33 xml

Hi,
This is normal.
For Files Effective permission= 666-022 = 644 (-rw-r--r--)
For Directories Effective permission = 777-022 = 755 (drwxr-xr-x)

Your points are appreciated.

Regards,
Shan.

its correct settings

after you create file with touch command you need to use chmod +x

More realistically, after you create your script with your favorite editor, then you use chmod(1).

Hi,

HP-UX will not assign execute permission to a file by default, in case of a directory it will.

it is normal..

Hi,

You can change the permission with chmod command,

check the man page of chmod for more details by,
#man chmod

or refer below link,
