Thank you in advance

Use the find command

find -user progress_dba -exec chgrp prog_dba {} \;

chown will not change the group ownership of the file except when accompanied by user:group format ?

[Pete Randall]

First, I should have said chgrp rather than chown. Second, if you want to change the directories too, then just leave out the "-type f".

I believe best option shall be

chown -R owner:group (owner will be same as previous in this case)

chgrp -R group /dir

I believe this shall satisfy your need.

Thanks
