Java unable to delete file for permission problem
Hi,

We are facing problem to delete some logfiles. Explaing with example for clear understanding :

we have 2 accounts : prdpqrs (application account) & prodxyz (admin account - not root). Both of them are in same group called 'release'

While prodxyz is trying to remove a file owned by prdpqrs with permission 666 it's failing with the following error :

/abc_serial/xyz/data/abc/admin/abc_rts_loaders/log/sos/discard> ls -ltr
total 0
-rw-rw-rw-+ 1 prdpqrs release 0 Feb 26 13:13 xx
/abc_serial/xyz/data/abc/admin/abc_rts_loaders/log/sos/discard> rm xx
xx: 666+ mode ? (y/n) y
rm: xx not removed. Permission denied
/abc_serial/xyz/data/abc/admin/abc_rts_loaders/log/sos/discard> cd ..
/abc_serial/xyz/data/abc/admin/abc_rts_loaders/log/sos>ls -l
drwxrwxrwx+ 2 prdpqrs release 96 Feb 26 18:36 discard
/abc_serial/xyz/data/abc/admin/abc_rts_loaders/log/sos>cd ..
/abc_serial/xyz/data/abc/admin/abc_rts_loaders/log>ls -l

/abc_serial/xyz/data/abc/admin/abc_rts_loaders/log>cd ..
/abc_serial/xyz/data/abc/admin/abc_rts_loaders> ls -l
total 256
drwxrws--- 32 prodxyz release 65536 Feb 20 07:33 error
drwxrwsrwx+ 39 prodxyz release 65536 Feb 20 07:42 log
drwxrws--- 2 prodxyz release 96 Aug 22 2003 reports
drwxrws--- 2 prodxyz release 96 Aug 22 2003 summary
/abc_serial/xyz/data/abc/admin/abc_rts_loaders>ls -l
drwxr-s---+ 6 prodxyz release 96 Aug 22 2003 abc_rts_loaders



Could you please advise how to delete those files owned by prdpqrs ?
