Thanks Again but am getting error when i run the script.
Code:
root@ttky # ./checkfileownership.sh /root/tools/bin root root
./checkfileownership.sh: root}: not found
./checkfileownership.sh: root}: not found
am doing something wrong here, I passed path, owner and group as arguments to the script.
Scripts first needs to look/read into config file, in which there will be some exception files and it's owner/group info.
So, when script start searching the files from mentioned path, if the same file found which was there in config file, it should skip that file and continue/proceed to next file..
say, we have config file by name ownerconfig.cnf and it has some file information which needs to skipped for checking owner/group
Code:
filename owner group
abc.txt root tadmin
chperf.sh rtadmin rtadmin
now, in our main script, first we need to read this ownerconfig.cnf file and then goto the path and keep checking the files for it's owner/group against mention owner/group which was passed as arguments during script running.
If it finds same file say abc.txt in the path, then all it has to do is skip the checking of this file(as it's exceptional file which needn't to be checked) and proceed with other file in the mention path.
Thanks Crontab. Sorry to reply very late. I was out of station..
I did tried something to skip file checking which will be there in whitelist file but still not working.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
set -f
startdir=$1
owner=$2
group=$3
WHITELIST="(/tmp/file_whitelist.txt)"
ownerexpr=${owner:+-user\ $owner}
groupexpr=${group:+-group\ $group}
listcount=0
whitelist_matches=0
while IFS="" read -r matchedentry; do
if [[ "$matchedentry" =~ $WHITELIST ]]; then
((whitelist_matches++))
else
echo -e "$matchedentry\r"
((listcount++))
fi
done < <(find "$startdir" \! \( $ownerexpr $groupexpr \) -ls | awk '{print $3, $5, $6, $11}')
if (( $listcount > 0 )); then
echo "$listcount items are having by '$Owner' ($whitelist_matches whitelisted)."
else
echo "Files which are Not in the : ($whitelist_matches whitelisted)."
fi
Can you please let me where it's going wrong.
All am trying to do is, script to check the file ownership thru script but skip some files checking and return message if all the file are in same ownership/pass if not, display files which are not having required ownership.
