Hi,

If both the servers were identical prior to change ,then on the server thats good run the following

Code:

find / -type -printf "%h/%f %m\n" >> /root/do-restore.sh

Then copy the /root/do-restore.sh to the server you have accidentally changed the permissions , I would say a quick way would be cat the file ,run a while loop and do chmod something like

Code:

cat /root/do-restore.sh|while read IN
do
fn=`echo $IN|awk '{print $1}'`
per=`echo $IN|awk '{print $2}'`
chmod $per $fn
done

A nice Linux option Thanks!

If you run it this way, then you can just copy the file to the target and run it...

Code:

find / -type f -o -type d -printf "chmod %m %h/%f\n" > /root/do-restore.sh

Until we find out what the O/P actually typed I'd be wary of doing a blunt permissions change from root.
Knowing what was actually typed would help cut the list down because we could no doubt compose a "find ..... -perm ..." statement.

The script posted above will misbehave with filenames containg space characters. If we introduce a delimiter in the "printf" it would be improved.

Cautious approach would be to run the "find" process on both computers for all inodes (not just files), then sort and compare the two listings to see what we are up against. Even on similar systems I would expect differences which must be ignored.

I use the script and are tot ok...

very tnaks for allll...
