Hi,

I used below script to check the file permission but it doesnt work.

[root@sai4db1 tmp]# ls -ltr
total 52
-rwx------ 1 root root 1563 Mar  6 14:12 ks-script-t-WIE3
---x--x--x 1 root root  599 Mar  6 14:14 ks-script-t-WIE3.log
-rwx------ 1 root root  553 Mar  6 14:14 ks-script-P4gFC6
drwxrwxr-- 2 root root 4096 Mar  6 14:14 SAI-RHEL-SEC-patch
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1292 Mar  6 14:15 ks-script-P4gFC6.log
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar  6 18:30 sai
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  147 Mar  7 13:56 test.sh
[root@sai4db1 tmp]# cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash

file="ks-script-t-WIE3.log"

if [ -r $file ]
then
echo "file has read permission"
else
echo "files doesnt have execute permission"
fi
[root@sai4db1 tmp]# ./test.sh
file has read permission
[root@sai4db1 tmp]#

if test -r astropubkey.asc ; then echo "file has r perms"; else echo "file is no r perms"; fi

Still same issue...Its strange really...

[root@sai4db1 tmp]# ll

As I can infer from your prompt you are running that script as root. root may read everything. Try running as a normal user.

thanks for reply..
But using root user, it is working for +x checks but not for +r and +w. Any idea why?

Your line :

echo "files doesnt have execute permission"

echo "files doesnt have READ permission"

you are running as a root user, try changing ownership of the file to some other user and then test..

also, you are thinking for +x it is working correctly, but in fact check your code as ctsgnb mentioned.
