in your script, the user1 is a static user, as the file could be created by anyone, how do I change it to be according to the file owner?

Do you mean anyone or anywhere?
anywhere, sorry....

If you have no reason to run it as root, never run it as root.
I dont need to run as root, the idea is to use root instead of any other users, just to make easy the process, because it could be anyone to run the touch command, and the file owner could be anyone as well. Besides this, I cannot change the owner.
So, if you will provide me other option, I would appreciate it a lot.
tks.

ppmtopgm
ppmtopgm(1) General Commands Manual ppmtopgm(1)
NAME
ppmtopgm - convert a portable pixmap into a portable graymap
SYNOPSIS
ppmtopgm [ppmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces a portable graymap as output. The output is a "black and white" rendering of the original
image, as in a black and white photograph. The quantization formula used is .299 r + .587 g + .114 b.
Note that although there is a pgmtoppm program, it is not necessary for simple conversions from pgm to ppm , because any ppm program can
read pgm (and pbm ) files automatically. pgmtoppm is for colorizing a pgm file. Also, see ppmtorgb3 for a different way of converting
color to gray. And ppmdist generates a grayscale image from a color image, but in a way that makes it easy to differentiate the original
colors, not necessarily a way that looks like a black and white photograph.
QUOTE
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is gray, and yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is a quantization error.
