Based on the permision in the dir can i delete the file
All,
I am having a directory as
drwxrwsr-x 3 intermec intermec 10240 Jan 8 09:07 intermec
inside the directory . the files are like
cd
-rw-r----- 1 intrmc01 intermec 5226 Dec 2 15:03 AST07356.txt
-rw-r----- 1 intrmc01 intermec 5025 Dec 2 12:51 AST07363.txt
-rw-r----- 1 intrmc01 intermec 1607 Jan 2 16:17 AST08003.txt
-rw-r----- 1 intrmc01 intermec 7772 Jan 3 15:09 AST08004.txt
-rw-r----- 1 intrmc01 intermec 25125 Jan 4 14:57 AST08005.txt
-rw-r----- 1 intrmc01 intermec 20636 Jan 7 15:19 AST08008.txt
When i run the below command
find /intermec/ -name "*" -mtime +12 -exec rm -f -r 2> /dev/null "{}" ";"
The files are not deleted . it is showing as permision denied even though i have full permision on the directory . Why it is not removed .
Is that because files not having full permsion ???..
if yes can i over come that and remove the file by any other way ?..
but to note that i was also having a file inside the directory as
-rwxrwxrwx 1 intermec intermec 15209 Aug 1 16:27 AST07214.txt
i was not able to delete the is one also. What should i do in such a way that the files under the dirctory can be deleted
i know root will be able to remove . Apart from root can anyother can remove if so how can i found that.
Thanks,
Arun.

Hi,
I want to know how the file permision should change to 755 automatically once the file is created. At the moment I do it explicitely by changing the permission mode to 755 using chmod command.
The default permission for a new file in my system is 644 (-rw-r--r--).
Thanks

mvdir(1M) mvdir(1M)
NAME
mvdir - move a directory
SYNOPSIS
dir newdir
DESCRIPTION
moves one directory tree into another existing directory (within the same file system), or renames a directory without moving it.
dir must be an existing directory.
If newdir does not exist but the directory that would contain it does, dir is moved and/or renamed to newdir. Otherwise, newdir must be an
existing directory not already containing an entry with the same name as the last pathname component of dir. In this case, dir is moved
and becomes a subdirectory of newdir. The last pathname component of dir is used as the name for the moved directory.
refuses to move dir if the path specified by newdir would be a descendent directory of the path specified by dir. Such cases are not
allowed because cyclic sub-trees would be created as in the case, for example, of which is prohibited.
does not allow directory to be moved.
Only users who have appropriate privileges can use
