umask

[j773303]

I set umask 022, while touch a file, i view a permission is rw_r__r__ , but i'd like to a file permission is rxx_r_xr_x...... how to config it?

You'll have to set the x-bits yourself, since touch doesn't set it. (If touch sets the x-bits, then umask 027 may overrule this for the world's x-bit.)

So you need a chmod +x ...

Is it means hpux can't create a file which permission is rwxrwxrwx ? Thanks.

HPUX can create files with execute mode. Only, touch and a lot of other commands will not do this, because they think (correctly) that they don't generate executable files.

But to experiment, you could create directories and look at the effect of umask settings and you'll see that your umask does have influence on the execute-bits...
umask 022
mkdir tmp2
umask 027
mkdir tmp3
ls -ld tmp?
