looking for help on script to capture file permission.
Hi Guys,

I'm a DBA and need help on shell scripting.
My Oracle Database is sitting on HP-UX machine.

Anyone has a script that can spool out permission of all oracle binary files in the below directory:
/opt/ora10g/oracle/

Format to be spooled out : chmod <exisiting permission> filename

I need to spool out in that format so that i can re-apply the privileges to all the files after upgrade of oracle.

thanks

With GNU find you could try this:
Code:
find /opt/ora10g/oracle/ -printf "chmod %m %p\n" > restore_ora_perms.sh

This is just permissions, not ownership, but that would be easy to add..

Code:
 
#!/bin/ksh
find /opt/ora10g/oracle/ -name "*" | while read file
do
       if [ "$file != "." -a -f $file ]
             echo $file >> temp.txt
             ls -l $file | awk '{ print $1 }' | cut -c 2-10 | sed -e 's/[rwx]/1,/g' -e 's/-/0,/g' | awk '{ split($1, arr, ","); a=4*arr[1] + 2*arr[2] + 1*arr[3]; b=4*arr[4] + 2*arr[5] + 1*arr[6]; c=4*arr[7] + 2*arr[8] + 1*arr[9]; printf("chmod %d%d%d \n",a,b,c); }' >> temp1.txt
       fi
done
paste -d" " temp1.txt temp.txt >> restore_prem.ksh
rm -f temp.txt
rm -f temp1.txt

Code:
find /opt/oracle -type f -depth -print | sed -e 's:^:chmod 777 :'  > /tmp/changperm.ksh

Or what ever your permissions what to be than run the file /tmp/changeperm.ksh

You might as well do
Code:
chmod -R $perm /opt/ora10g/oracle

then, no?
The idea is to restore the permissions to whatever the way it was before the Oracle upgrade (777 is a no-no by the way.)
