Need help with a script please.

[jim.thornton]

I just upgraded my vps to use suPHP and I read somewhere that a file cannot have more than 755 set to it.

I would like to write a script that will (recursively) check each directory within a users /home/username/public_html directory and change all the permissions of any files that are currently 777 to 755.

Can anyone please tell me how to do this?

find should suffice:

find . -perm -777 -exec echo chmod 755 '{}' \;

This will echo the list of generated commands. If you agree with it, just remove the "echo" to actually run them and apply the changes.

Awesome... Thanks.

This same question was on another popular linux forum and was there for the last 3 or 4 hours with no response. You answered in 8 minutes

Thanks!
