I'm pretty new to scripting and trying to do a simple (well, I thought so) administrator task. I'm using bash.
I want to create 10 directories under the one directory and apply permissions at the same time.
I've worked out the make directories part:
Can I apply permissions to each directory at the same time as creation? And can I also add more arguments such as creating another directory under only specific directories?
Thanks.
If you want to create multiple levels of directories and you want to exactly specify the mode of all the directories being created, don't use the -p option to create subdirectories; instead use the -m mode option where the mode option-argument specifies the mode you want all of the newly created directories to have and specify all of the directories that need to be created as operands. The mode option-argument can be in any of the formats used when specifying a mode for the chmod utility. (Just be sure to give the paths of parent directories as operands before any subdirectories that you want to create in those parent directories. And, note that if you specify a mode that doesn't include write mode for the owner class, attempts to create subdirectories will fail.)
Note that you said you wanted to create 10 directories, but:
will create 52 directories; not 12 (with permissions on all of them set to allow read, write, and search by the user and group classes with no access by the other class).

Hi,
I wanted to know how to create a folder using mkdir and then have it copy the permissions from another specified folder on the system.
For example if I did this:
mkdir /Volumes/USBSTICK/System
How can I make it copy the permissions from the /System folder ?
Thanks (4 Replies)

I have a script were I issue the following command:
perl -p -i -e "s/$v31a/$db2/" $dbn31

mkdir
MKDIR(2) Linux Programmer's Manual MKDIR(2)NAME
mkdir - create a directory
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
int mkdir(const char *pathname, mode_t mode);
DESCRIPTION
mkdir attempts to create a directory named pathname.
mode specifies the permissions to use. It is modified by the process's umask in the usual way: the permissions of the created file are
(mode & ~umask).
The newly created directory will be owned by the effective uid of the process. If the directory containing the file has the set group id
bit set, or if the filesystem is mounted with BSD group semantics, the new directory will inherit the group ownership from its parent; oth-
erwise it will be owned by the effective gid of the process.
If the parent directory has the set group id bit set then so will the newly created directory.
RETURN VALUE
mkdir returns zero on success, or -1 if an error occurred (in which case, errno is set appropriately).
ERRORS
EPERM The filesystem containing pathname does not support the creation of directories.
EEXIST pathname already exists (not necessarily as a directory). This includes the case where pathname is a symbolic link, dangling or
not.
EFAULT pathname points outside your accessible address space.
EACCES The parent directory does not allow write permission to the process, or one of the directories in pathname did not allow search
(execute) permission.
ENAMETOOLONG
pathname was too long.
ENOENT A directory component in pathname does not exist or is a dangling symbolic link.
ENOTDIR
A component used as a directory in pathname is not, in fact, a directory.
ENOMEM Insufficient kernel memory was available.
EROFS pathname refers to a file on a read-only filesystem.
ELOOP Too many symbolic links were encountered in resolving pathname.
ENOSPC The device containing pathname has no room for the new directory.
ENOSPC The new directory cannot be created because the user's disk quota is exhausted.
CONFORMING TO
SVr4, POSIX, BSD, SYSV, X/OPEN. SVr4 documents additional EIO, EMULTIHOP and ENOLINK error conditions; POSIX.1 omits ELOOP.
There are many infelicities in the protocol underlying NFS. Some of these affect mkdir.
