Highlight directories in path with execute permission for others

Hi all, I'm trying to make a script that takes at the most one argument and lists all directories in the path in a special format:

User Group Other Filename
rwx r-- r-x \
rwx r-x r-- home

This is my code as it is right now:

Code:

if [ $# -gt 1 ]
then
    echo 'Usage: dirpath [ dir-name ]' 1>&2
    exit 1
fi
if [ $# = 1 ]
then
      if [ ! -d $1 ]
     then
          echo "dirpath: $1 is not a valid directory name"
         exit 1
      fi
     cd $1
fi


echo " Owner Group Other Filename"
echo " ----- ----- ----- --------"

pathnow="/$(pwd | sed 's/\// /g')"
for dirs in $pathnow
do
cd $dirs

if [ $(ls -ld . | cut -c10) != 'x' ]
then
tput smso
fi
echo -n `ls -ld . | cut -c1`
echo -n ' '
echo -n `ls -ld . | cut -c2`
echo -n ' '
echo -n `ls -ld . | cut -c3`
echo -n ' '
echo -n `ls -ld . | cut -c4`
echo -n ' '
echo -n `ls -ld . | cut -c5`
echo -n ' '
echo -n `ls -ld . | cut -c6`
echo -n ' '
echo -n `ls -ld . | cut -c7`
echo -n ' '
echo -n `ls -ld . | cut -c8`
echo -n ' '
echo -n `ls -ld . | cut -c9`
echo -n ' '
echo  -n `ls -ld . | cut -c10`
echo " $dirs"
tput rmso
done

exit 0

This is what I get when I run my script:

dirpath ~/BTP100
Owner Group Other Filename
----- ----- ----- --------
d r w x r - x r - x /
d r w x r - x r - x home
d r w x - - x - - x drey5

As you can see aren't there as I want them and the directory BTP100 isn't listed. Also, directories that have execute permission for others aren't being highlighted.

Any help is appreciated.

createhomedir

createhomedir(1)					    BSD General Commands Manual 					  createhomedir(1)

NAME

     createhomedir -- create and populate home directories on the local computer.

SYNOPSIS

     createhomedir [-scbalh] [-n directoryDomainName] [-u username]

DESCRIPTION

     createhomedir provides several options for creating and populating home directories.

OPTIONS

     -s       creates home directories for server home paths only (default).

     -c       creates home directories for local home paths only.

     -b       creates home directories for both server and local home paths.

     -a       creates home directories for users defined in all directory domains of the server's search path.

     -l       creates home directories for users defined in the local directory domain.

     -L       causes the created home directory to be localized.

     -n directoryDomainName
	      creates home directories for users defined in a specific directory domain in the server's search path.

     -u username
	      creates a home directory for a specific user defined in the domain(s) identified in the -a, -l, or -n parameter. If you omit the -a,
	      -l, and -n parameters when you use the -u parameter, -a is assumed.

     -i       reads username list from standard input and creates specified home directories. Each username should be on its own line.

     -h       usage help.

FILES

     /usr/sbin/createhomedir			   location of tool

CAVEATS

     When using the -a option, search limits of various directory servers (such as Open Directory or Active Directory) can prevent all possible
     home directories from being created. In this case, you may need to specify the usernames explicitly.
