Permissions issue
Hi,

I have a shell script which calls oracle procedure.
Procedure creates a file using oracle utl_file and places file on unix server at loaction /tmp.

The file permission is getting set to 640 (Owner=oracle, group=dba)
I need it to be 644 by default. (So others can read it.)

The umask is set to 022.
Directory permissions are
drwxrw-rwx 24 root sys 145920 Jul 24 09:45 tmp

Still files being created have permission 640.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Krishna GNV.

Hi Krishna,

You don't say what shell you are using, umask has some minor differences depending on the shell. I'd start with the man pages for this.

I am using Korn Shell.

Strange thing is : When system admin logged in using user 'oracle', and created a file (at /tmp) like :

touch abc.txt

Then file permissions were 644 and not 640.

Oracle itself may be enforcing certain permissions. umask only provides default permissions, other programs can override these defaults.

How can I find out if oracle is forcing some other permissions ? Is there any way I can change it ?
