Change Dir doubt and some advice.
Hello,

This is my first post in this forum.

I need to change the owner of several directories and files in Solaris 10 Operating system, more than 500.
The server is in production and my question is:
If i change the owner of directories and files, the server can become unstable, i mean, some services or processes can stop or donīt work properly? These change include any kind of directories and files in the server.
The owner of these directories will be root.

The advice is:
I already have a script to change the owner.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
OWNERR=root
while read direct; do
chown "$OWNERR" "$direct"
done < FileWithDir

############################
FileWithDir has the format:
Code:
/dir/dir/<file or dir>

Can someone advice any improvement in this script or that itīs not necessary.

Thanks,

Checo
