Change permissions for files
I need to chmod all files arriving in a landing directory every moment and them moved them with the new permissions to another directory.
I came up with the following code, please help:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/sh
a=`find /temp/in_ccn -type f ! -perm a+rw -exec chmod a+rw {} \;`
for i in $a ; do
mv /temp/in_ccn/$i /final_destination/dir
done

find generally slow's you down when you are dealing with larger directories.

rather you could do the below

Code:
chmod a+rw /temp/in_ccn/*
mv /temp/in_ccn/* /final_destination/dir/

Change permissions for files
Hi

Thanks ... but how do I make sure that the files I am moving are already chmod, and also not picking up the same files (duplicates)?

in that case
Code:
for i in /temp/in_ccn/*
do
chmod a+rw /temp/in_ccn/${i}
mv /temp/in_ccn/${i} /final_destination/dir/
done

Is it possible to add a line to delete the files already moved?

If a file is already available, it will be replaced when you use mv command.

If you still want to check and delete if the file already exists at destination,
Code:
for i in /temp/in_ccn/*
do
if [[ ! -f /final_destination/dir/${i} ]]; then
 chmod a+rw /temp/in_ccn/${i}
 mv /temp/in_ccn/${i} /final_destination/dir/
else
 rm /temp/in_ccn/${i}
fi
done
