What i wanna do ..is 2 things
find all files in a directory tree and chmod them 644
find all directories in a directory tree and chmod them 775
and i'm trying to do it with the find -exec command. For the directory
part i did get this working:
chmod 7755 `find . -type d`
but for the file part chmod said there was too many files so i wanan try
to do it with the -exec option in find. can someone give me a command
that would work for this ? ive treid several variations on this command:
find . -exec chmod u+wx {} -type f
to no avail ..no matter what i do it keeps saying its "missing argument to
`-exec' i've tried escaping it with \ tried single and double quotes,
tried calling a single command with no arguements i moved the -exec
command to the end of the find command ARGH NOTHING! There are about 5,000
files i need to modify.
plz help someone :))
