Shell Programming and Scripting

Guys, I need help.

I need to change the .txt file permission after I have reset the file content to 0.

The code that reset the file content to 0 is as follows:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

for i in /root/script/*.txt
do
  echo "0" > $i
done

However, the file is generated by the apache application, with the following permission: 644 or Owner: RW, Group: R and Others: R and should be 766 whereas the Owner: RWX, Group: RW and Others: RW.

Thanks for the help.

Code:

 
#!/bin/sh

for i in /root/script/*.txt
do
echo "0" > $i && chmod 766 $i
done

You can use chmod.

Have a great day

Thanks for the reply. However, I simulate the code in other text file and it works, but the thing is that, the files are created by user apache, different from the user where the application is actually running, frontpage, and now wants to chown the text file with the user frontpage.

Thanks
