Thanks for your replies! To update, things are working now. I think i now know what blunder i was committing: i was running this script as follows:
Code:
sudo sh scriptname.sh
'su' must be assuming that my intended user is 'root', and since even root user was not able to create directory in the given path, the script was failing. When i changed it to the following, it worked:
Code:
sudo sally sh scriptname.sh
@Corona688: Nice catch! However, I am running 'mkdir -p'. By the way, even if i had not used -p option, i think i would have got a different error message, correct?
To answer your question, 'harry' belongs to another group called 'teacher'. I was wondering why 'setfacl' did not work though i could see it set using the 'getfacl' command. I was wondering about the other way that you mentioned to remedy this. Can you please hint me what you were referring to?
@ctsgnb: I am on a different machine than the Samba server. I just see the exported Samba share. Though i asked from my colleague whether the share is a Samba share or some other type of share, and he did say Samba, I was still wondering whether there is any concrete way to ascertain this. Thanks for the link ctsgnb!

shtool-mkdir
SHTOOL-MKDIR.TMP(1) GNU Portable Shell Tool SHTOOL-MKDIR.TMP(1)NAME
shtool-mkdir - GNU shtool mkdir(1) style command
SYNOPSIS
shtool mkdir [-t|--trace] [-f|--force] [-p|--parents] [-m|--mode mode] [-o|--owner owner] [-g|--group group] dir [dir ...]
DESCRIPTION
This is a mkdir(1) style command with additional options and the ability to be smart if the directory already exists which is important for
installation procedures.
OPTIONS
The following command line options are available.
-t, --trace
Shows the actually involved shell commands.
-f, --force
Forced continuation and no complaints if directory already exists. Default is to terminate with error.
-p, --parents
Automatic parent directory creation. Default is to only create the last directory in the path and fail if parents are missing.
-m, --mode mode
The directory mode applied to the directory, see chmod(1). Omitting mode skips this step and leaves the operating system default which
is usually based on umask(1). Some directory modes require superuser privileges to be set. Default is to stick with operating system
defaults.
-o, --owner owner
The directory owner name or id applied to the directory, see chown(1). This option requires superuser privileges to execute. Default
is to skip this step and leave the operating system default which is usually based on the executing uid or the parent setuid directory.
-g, --group group
The directory group name or id applied to the directory, see chgrp(1). This option requires superuser privileges to execute to the
fullest extend, otherwise the choice of group is limited on most operating systems. Default is to skip this step and leave the
operating system default which is usually based on the executing gid or the parent setgid directory.
EXAMPLE
# Makefile
install:
shtool mkdir -f -p -m 755 $(bindir)
shtool mkdir -f -p -m 755 $(mandir)/man1
