I wanted to check the files ownership and permission based on the path given it as arguments thru script.
I was able to get the required command using ls but i would like this command to put in a script and check the file ownership against the what it needs to be and report back if it's doesn't match with filename.
command i have got :
from the above command, i get the out with file permission, ownership, filename..
now, I want this command to put into script and pass the path as argument and ownership as arugment to check against each files and report back the filename if ownership doesn't match.
The solution which you gave is kind of working. Is there a way in which we can skip or leave if any of the file owner/group needn't to be checked.
I was thinking, keeping some config file, where in which we can specify the filename, owner and group it belongs to. Then after we run the script, it read this config file first and then check the files one by one from the mention path. If the same filename found then it should crosscheck the owner/group mentioned against config file and the actual exists one. if it differs then report file has different owner/group and expected.
If the file owner/group matches with what had in config, then report back saying everything is fine.
