We need to change the file permissions and ownerships?
I am running a linux centos server; our php script generates plenty of files in a directory, anything up to 1000 (though too often more).The files in these directories have permissions and ownerships which i need to change.
I have used shell comment for changing the file permission which is working fine but the problem is file increase the directory it will return this message
/bin/sh: /bin/chown: Argument list too long
I understand that this is because the shell is expanding limit so I want to limit the argument count (file count)
I have 2 options
1) I need to write a script which has to list all the files which are created before one month from now. I have used the following comment used but not working
find /var/www/vhosts/domainname.ie/httpdocs/directory/testquotes/test -mtime +1 -exec chown domain.psacln {} \;
2) once we have changed the file permission we need not want to the agreement list how we will limit the files
Kindly Help.

Hi,
I was wondering if there is any way to find out when the file/directory's permissions were changed. Typically, when using 'chmod' to change a file/directory's permissions, the modification date does not change.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

dh_fixperms
DH_FIXPERMS(1) Debhelper DH_FIXPERMS(1)
NAME
dh_fixperms - fix permissions of files in package build directories
SYNOPSIS
dh_fixperms [debhelperoptions] [-Xitem]
DESCRIPTION
dh_fixperms is a debhelper program that is responsible for setting the permissions of files and directories in package build directories to
a sane state -- a state that complies with Debian policy.
dh_fixperms makes all files in usr/share/doc in the package build directory (excluding files in the examples/ directory) be mode 644. It
also changes the permissions of all man pages to mode 644. It removes group and other write permission from all files. It removes execute
permissions from any libraries, headers, Perl modules, or desktop files that have it set. It makes all files in the standard bin and sbin
directories, usr/games/ and etc/init.d executable (since v4). Finally, it removes the setuid and setgid bits from all files in the package.
When the Rules-Requires-Root field has the (effective) value of binary-targets, dh_fixperms will also reset the ownership of all paths to
"root:root".
OPTIONS
-Xitem, --exclude item
Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from having their permissions changed. You may use this option multiple
times to build up a list of things to exclude.
SEE ALSO
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
