I need of a script...

[penguin]

I have to add and change permissions on about 100 directories on a linux box. I would like to create a script to do this for me. Any ideas?

 

[cpugeniusmv]

chmod?
more specifically:

http://www.bembry.org/tech/linux/permissions.php

 

[Zedric]

man chmod

 

[X-Istence]

chmod -R <permmask> dir

 

[Geffy]

the powers of that -R

what are the names of the directories? If they are all foo-somethingelse then you can chmod 777 f00* and it will chmod all directories named foo-somehting or whatever your permissions are. The recursive -R switch changes the top level and all sublevel directories, so I guess it depends what you are actually trying to do.
