Greetings, I have a shell script which duplicates a file and then renames the duplicate file; the trick is that the duplicate file needs to have the same permissions as the original file. For example:
1. Open file A.txt 2. Manipulate A.txt 3. Save A.txt as A.txt.tmp 4. Rename A.txt.tmp to B.txt 5. Give B.txt the same permissions as A.txt I assume that there is some set of variables I can look at to find various attributes of A.txt, so that $APerm = permissions(A.txt) or something, so I can do chmod $APerm B.txt in step 5. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Sliante, Richard S.
