Thanks Crontab. Sorry to reply very late. I was out of station..

I did tried something to skip file checking which will be there in whitelist file but still not working.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
set -f
startdir=$1
owner=$2
group=$3
WHITELIST="(/tmp/file_whitelist.txt)"
ownerexpr=${owner:+-user\ $owner}
groupexpr=${group:+-group\ $group}
listcount=0
whitelist_matches=0
while IFS="" read -r matchedentry; do
if [[ "$matchedentry" =~ $WHITELIST ]]; then
((whitelist_matches++))
else
echo -e "$matchedentry\r"
((listcount++))
fi
done < <(find "$startdir" \! \( $ownerexpr $groupexpr \) -ls | awk '{print $3, $5, $6, $11}')
if (( $listcount > 0 )); then
echo "$listcount items are having by '$Owner' ($whitelist_matches whitelisted)."
else
echo "Files which are Not in the : ($whitelist_matches whitelisted)."
fi

Can you please let me where it's going wrong.

All am trying to do is, script to check the file ownership thru script but skip some files checking and return message if all the file are in same ownership/pass if not, display files which are not having required ownership.

NAME

       lfc-chgrp - change group ownership of a LFC directory/file in the name server

SYNOPSIS

       lfc-chgrp [-h] [-R] group path...

DESCRIPTION

       lfc-chgrp sets the group ownership of a LFC directory/file in the name server to the value of group.

       To  change  the group ID, the effective user ID of the process must match the owner ID of the file and the new group must be in the list of
       groups the caller belong to or the caller must have ADMIN privilege in the Cupv database.

       group  is either a valid group name or a valid numeric ID.

       path   specifies the LFC pathname.  If path does not start with /, it is prefixed by the content of the LFC_HOME environment variable.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -h     If path is a symbolic link, changes the ownership of the link itself.

       -R     Recursive mode.

EXIT STATUS

       This program returns 0 if the operation was successful or >0 if the operation failed.
