read nmon files
Hi. I have a cron job running nmon -X & collecting info into the files nmon.$month$date. Files owned by root ( as the job owner ) . What is the best way to make them automatically readable for everyone. The files stored in the folder
bash-3.2$ ls -ld /system_performance/nmon_logs
drwxrwxrwx 2 root system 4096 Dec 23 00:05 /system_performance/nmon_logs

755 on directories /system_performance, and ./nmon_logs will work. All of the files in there should be 644 as well. 777 on everything is not a good idea.

nmon will create files with permissions based on your umask at the time it is run, so changing the directory to 755, as jim mcnamara suggested, and ensuring that your umask is set (the default is 022) accordingly will suffice for your needs. *

(* it may not suffice if the target directory has a remote filesystem mounted on it)
