Re: chmod 775 on all files

As others said before 775 is also executable. If I want to make everything in my dir "rw" for me and my group and "r" for everyone else and all subdirectories "x" I don't use perl but 2 chmod-s with find and xargs:

find /my/dir -type d | xargs chmod 775
find /my/dir -type f | xargs chmod 664

Update: changed type 7 to type f

I am always learning, but unless I am mistaken, I think the second find should be... `find /my/dir -type f \| xargs chmod 664` [download] Update:Removed strikeout on '7' from previous code to make slightly clearer. (cosmetic) Update:s/644/664/ - Quite right Skeeve. Typo.	[reply] [d/l]

if you meant the change from 7 to f, you're right if you meant 644 instead of 664, you're wrong ;-)	[reply]
