OK got it now.

I added my startup script at /sbin/rc3.d and my shutdown script at /sbin/rc0.d.

Problem is I cant change the permission of my shutdown script in /sbin/rc0.d

My default umask is
root:/sbin/rc0.d> umask -S
u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx

my current file permission:
l---r-xr-x 1 root sys 50 Jul 16 18:28 K891ctm-agent-shut.sh -> /home/ctmagent/Agent/ctm/scripts/ctm-agent-shut.sh

I want to change it to "755," but chmod is not working on this one.



TIA!

Hi

Firstly unlink it then change the permission to 755 and then again link it.

the permissions of the original file is already at 755.

You can't change the link's permissions. The permissions for the link are set based on the current value for umask at the time you created the link but have no effect on the target (/sbin/init.d). You can remove the link, change umask to 022 and then recreate it -- but it does not change the target. A symbolic link is just a pointer.

Hi

Basically you cant change the permissions of link.

use chmod -h 775 for changing the link file permission
-h If the file is a symbolic link, change the mode of the link itself rather than the file that the link points to.

chown(2) has a -h option but I don't see it for chmod(2)??

NAME
chmod -- change file modes or Access Control Lists


SYNOPSIS
chmod [-fv] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] mode file ...
chmod [-fv] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-a | +a | =a] ACE file ...
chmod [-fhv] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-E] file ...
chmod [-fhv] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-C] file ...
chmod [-fhv] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-N] file ...


DESCRIPTION
The chmod utility modifies the file mode bits of the listed files as
specified by the mode operand. It may also be used to modify the Access
Control Lists (ACLs) associated with the listed files.

The generic options are as follows:

-f Do not display a diagnostic message if chmod could not modify the
mode for file.

-H If the -R option is specified, symbolic links on the command line
are followed. (Symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal
are not followed by default.)

-h If the file is a symbolic link, change the mode of the link
itself rather than the file that the link points to.

-L If the -R option is specified, all symbolic links are followed.

[OldSchool]

"-h If the file is a symbolic link, change the mode of the link
itself rather than the file that the link points to."

ok, I can find that for AIX, some AT&T style systems, but nothing like that on hpux 10.20, or any 11.xx variant.

so, what OS'es man page is that????
