Shell Programming and Scripting

What are the permissions on the files before you start changing them to 777? (Note: instead of setting everything to 777, maybe you should try to set the directories to 755, and files to 644 or 664.)

Use the sch account and create a new directory under /usr5/sch/ called test and a new file called testfile in that test directory. Cd to /usr5/sch and do a ls -l ./test and a ls -ld ./test - post the output.

Post the output of the umask command.

You may need to explain your script and cobol program a bit more - what it's doing in all of this. And please format your explaination, questions, and answers. It is difficult to read everything when you just run it all together.

hi all
i have directory /usr5/sch/cpe
this directory have script call cs-claims
#!/bin/sh
O-CLAIMS_CONFIRM
this is a cobol object
in the object he goes to something like 20 directories
and get current file call claims_data*
in some directories this the mod of the file is
-rw-r----- 1 other 38988 Apr 27 20:32 claims_data_001
in other directory its
-rwxrwxrwx 1 other 116280 Mar 13 19:49 claims_data_007
when i'm running the script from /usr5/sch/cpe
it runs o.k
now i have form in developer that the application sitting on
other directory call
/usr2/acct/hafala
when i'm running the form
is host ('cs-claims-script');
cs-claims-script
which doing sh cs-claims
but he cant open the files from the directory
unless i will do chmod 777 to all the files that are claims_data
something that i did not have to do if i'm running the script from /usr5/sch/cpe
now the only way to change the mod of the file need to be from
administrator account (no server!!!) how can i write a script
or from the current script to connect to the login and passwd automitacly
and change the mod files ??
thanks a lot please help me here i'm stuck in a middle
