hello.
i know there's an equivalent to these two find commands that can be summed up in one chmod command:
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
it fixes my permissions ... i haven't tested this yet but i think it's wrong: chmod -R u+rwX,a+rX
what would be the best solution here?
I would do it the same way you do, but with xargs instead:
find . -type X -print0 | xargs -0 chmod XXX
If you were feeling crazy and use sh:
find . | while read path; do \ if [ -d "$path" ]; then chmod 755; else chmod 644; fi; \ done
The latter is overkill, but the approach can be useful for nontrivial operations on systems that don't support -print0. It also has the benefit that you can do it over ssh without having to copy over a script, e.g.
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] sh -s <script.sh
(No nightmares from having to double- or triple-escape special characters, either.)
Sorry, I don't know how to do it all with chmod. I assume you've consulted the excellent FreeBSD man pages?
