Hi,

In a directory I would like to search for files with a particular ownership say "tom" and if I find any files with that ownership then I would change the ownership to "jerry" and also change the permission of the file to 555. How can I accoplish this with a script. This script shud run contineously in the background. Thanks

Regards,
Jern

man find
man crontab
man sleep

for file in `find / -type f -user tom` ; do
chown jerry $file
chmod 555 $file
# are you REALLY sure want to execute chmod?
done
