Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting chown remotely via ssh / invalid group Post 302349942 by avronius on Wednesday 2nd of September 2009 10:24:45 AM

Hmmm....

Your command is:
Code:
group=`ssh -t -t $1 -p 3344 "stat -c %G $cpath/FILE"`

Why are you using the -t -t option for ssh? Do you need the pseudo tty sessions?

Here's what I've tried. I created a script called sshtest.sh.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
group=`ssh $1 stat -c %G $2/FILE`
echo $group

I run it by passing two arguments - $1 and $2. $1 is the server to connect to and $2 is the path to the file.
Code:
./sshtest.sh myhost /var/tmp/testing

And the result is:
Code:
slocate

This is the group that owns the file.

See if you can accurately report on the current group for your files, then see if you can change the group ownership after that.

lchgrp - Changes group ownership of symlink

SYNOPSIS
bool lchgrp (string $filename, mixed $group) DESCRIPTION
Attempts to change the group of the symlink $filename to $group. Only the superuser may change the group of a symlink arbitrarily; other users may change the group of a symlink to any group of which that user is a member. PARAMETERS
o $filename - Path to the symlink. o $group - The group specified by name or number. RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 Changing the group of a symbolic link <?php $target = 'output.php'; $link = 'output.html'; symlink($target, $link); lchgrp($link, 8); ?> NOTES
Note This function will not work on remote files as the file to be examined must be accessible via the server's filesystem. Note When safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether the files or directories being operated upon have the same UID (owner) as the script that is being executed. Note This function is not implemented on Windows platforms. SEE ALSO
chgrp(3), lchown(3), chown(3), chmod(3). PHP Documentation Group LCHGRP(3)
