Linux Cron jobs
I am new to Linux. What are the codes needed to run a cron job that will check the root directories that have permission 755. If the directories exist, it will be set to permission 700. Thanks.

use find

Code:
find / -type d -perm 755 2>/dev/null-exec chmod 700 {} \;

test it out before running using print

Code:
find / -type d -perm 755 -print 2>/dev/null


cheers,
