The requirement is that whichever user logs in and does not find /tmp/logs folder will create the folder and a file /tmp/logs/date.log and gives full permission so that every user can read and write to the file / folder.

I write this code in setup.sh

Code:

mkdir -p /tmp/logs
touch /tmp/logs/date.log
chmod -R 777 /tmp/logs

this setup.sh is injected in the profile of all the users.

The problem i m facing is that once the file and folder is created the other users throw the below error

Code:

chmod: changing permissions of ‘/tmp/logs’: Operation not permitted

I understand that multiple users cannot chmod to the same file or folder; but how can i avoid the error to show up when other users login.

Is simply suppressing the error chmod 777 /tmp/root_log 2>/dev/null the solution to my problem ?
