Full Discussion: Allow user without dir write permission to execute a script that creates files

Allow user without dir write permission to execute a script that creates files
In our project we have several unix scripts that trigger different processes. These scripts write logs to a particular folder 'sesslogs', create output data files in a separate directory called 'datafiles' etc. Usually L1 support team re-run these scripts . We donot want L1 support team to have write access to any of the 'Sesslogs' or 'datafiles' folder as they could accidentally delete the critical files in these folders. So we would like their account 'operator' to have no write permission on these folders but just read and execute. At the same time when they run these shell scripts using the 'operator' account, the shell scripts must be able to create the new logfiles in the 'SessLogs' folder and also write output datafiles to the 'datafiles' folder.
How can this be achieved at the same time that 'operator' cannot manually delete or create a file in the SessLogs/datafiles folder.
Please advise.

thanks

rmf

rmf(1)							      General Commands Manual							    rmf(1)

NAME

       rmf - remove folder (only available within the message handling system, mh)

SYNOPSIS

       rmf [+folder] [-help] [-[no]interactive]

OPTIONS

       Prints  a  list of the valid options to this command.  Asks for confirmation before deleting a folder. By default, rmf deletes a folder and
       its messages without asking for confirmation.  If you specify the -interactive option, rmf asks if you are sure before deleting the folder.
       You are advised to use this option, since when rmf deletes a folder its contents are lost irretrievably.

DESCRIPTION

       The  rmf  command  removes all of the messages within the current folder, and then removes the folder itself. If there are any files within
       the folder which are not part of MH, they are not removed, and an error message is displayed.

       You can specify a folder other than the current folder by using the +folder argument. If you do not specify a folder, and rmf  cannot  find
       the current folder,rmf asks you whether you want to delete +inbox instead.

       If the current folder is removed, it makes +inbox current.

       Note that the rmf command irreversibly deletes messages that do not have other links, so use it with caution.

       If  the	folder	being removed is a sub-folder, the parent folder becomes the new current folder, and rmf tells you that this has happened.
       This provides an easy mechanism for selecting a set of messages, operating on the list, then removing the list and returning to the current
       folder from which the list was extracted.

       Using  rmf  to  delete a read-only folder deletes the private sequence and current message information from the file, without affecting the
       folder itself. If you have sub-folders within a folder, you must delete all the sub-folders before you can delete the folder itself.

PROFILE COMPONENTS

       Path: To determine the user's Mail directory

EXAMPLES

       This example shows how rmf asks for confirmation when the -interactive option is used: % rmf -interactive +test Remove folder "test"? y

FILES

       The user profile.
