This should do what you want, but will need to be restarted manually after every reboot:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
while [ 1 ]
do      chmod 777 dir
        sleep 3600
done

This was written using ksh as an example, but will work with any shell following basic Bourne shell syntax. (It will not work with csh and similar shells.)
