Permissions output
Hi there,

One question on displaying the output for permissions.
Ok, when I put ls -l filename
I get something like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 read.read users 359 Dec 16 13:19 filename

How do I change the output to become like this?
READ WRITE EXECUTE
OWNER READ.READ YES YES NO
GROUP USERS YES NO NO
EVERYBODY NO NO NO

Should I use SHIFT and WHILE loop command to do this? I am really stuck on displaying the output. Can someone help me?

It is a kiss ( Keep it simple and stupid )..You can write your own wrapper script. But it is not worthy.
