change file permission

[peterchu]

I have a directory ( eg. /tmp/temp ) , everyone can write file to it , if I want all the files under this directory are the same owner and permission ( eg. 644 , user1:edp ) , I try to write a script to change the owner and permission but it only change in a minute , I want the file owner and permission will be changed once the file was created ( so that other user can overwrite it ) , could suggest what can I do ? thx

Couldn't really understand what you want to do!!

If the users have the permissions for /tmp/temp directory they can create any file in that directory...

so are you looking for chmod 777 /tmp/temp??

Hi,

If you are talking about the same file, all you need to do for users to overwrite it is to give the write permission for all users (if they belong to the same group, you just need to set the "g" permission, not the o"") to this directory:

#cd /tmp
#chmod -R ugo+rxw /temp

thx replies ,

what I want is to make sure all the file under /tmp/temp are 644 & user1:edp , once any user overwrite/create a file to this directory , it will be changed to 644 & user1:edp .

not the same file , I want ALL the files .

Thx in advance.

Hi peterchu,

I think the better way to do this is just allow the user user1 to write to this /tmp/temp directory.

But you can always allow everyone and schedule a cron job (I don't know any way of doing this at file creation...) executing every 10 minutes, for example, that changes all the /tmp/temp files to user1:edp :

01,11,21,31,41,51 * * * * $HOME/scripts/change_tempfiles_permissions.sh

And change_tempfiles_permissions.sh has:

chown -R user1 /tmp/temp

chgrp -R edp /tmp/temp

Hi,

Is this thread related to the one you lauched a week ago:
http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=872149.?

Files created by a user, will always be the owner of the file.

thx replies,

Eric's method (cron job) seems only change it in a certain of time , is there method that can change it once it was created.

thx louis , i can't go to the link .
