Here’s a cool little script that will recursively chmod, giving a permission based on whether it’s dealing with a file or a directory. This is very convenient when you want to add that +x to directories but not files.<\/p>\n
[bash]find $1 -type f -exec chmod $2 {} ;
\nfind $1 -type d -exec chmod $3 {} ;[\/bash]<\/p>\n
Go ahead and edit \/usr\/bin\/chmod_script, copy paste these 2 lines in there, then issue a chmod 755 \/usr\/bin\/chmod_script as root, that’s it!<\/p>\n
Usage syntax is as follows:<\/p>\n
[bash]chmod_script <directory_to_start_the_recursion_in> <permissions_for_files> <permissions_for+directories>[\/bash]<\/p>\n
so if I want to use it on \/var\/www do:<\/p>\n
[code]chmod_script \/var\/www 644 755[\/code]<\/p>\n
Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
