Hi Friends,

I need your help for UNIX Shell scripting, I need to prepare and execute script by unix crontab to check for file's and directoires permissions and change the permissions if necessary.

under /u01/ram/ there are number of file, in which few file are .txt extension files, like as below.
Code:
oraclprd:#ls -lrt *.txt
-rwx------ 1 ram dba 10 Nov 24  2014 bankfile.txt
-rwx------ 1 ram dba 10 Apr  4  2015 propertyfile.txt
....
..
..

normally, those *.txt should always have 700 permission, but sometime by some user who is part of dba group, by mistake change file perssion like anything 755 or 777 etc.

my need is, under /u01/ram/ folder if *.txt file permission get change then

shell script should perform below action
----------------------------------------
give output like what are the files got change (which is not 700 permission)
then
change the file permission as 700 for thsoe file which have wrong permission.
and then send output by mail for those file with the current file permission.

appreciate your help..

Regards,
