Where is the difficulty?
An alias suffice e.g.
Code:
alias chmod4all='chmod 755 $1'

Hello Reddax,

Following is an example for dealing with multiple files as arguments.

Code:
cat test343435.ksh
function check_files ()
{
for i in $*
do
        ls -ltr $i
done
}
check_files test440 test441 test443 test455

Output will be as follows.
Code:
-rw-r--r-- 1 singh06 singh06 513 Nov  5 06:21 test440
-rw-r--r-- 1 singh05 singh05 513 Nov  5 06:48 test441
-rw-r--r-- 1 singh05 singh05 46 Nov  5 06:50 test443
-rw-r--r-- 1 singh05 singh05 1169 Nov  5 08:02 test455

Note: This is just an example, which you can take it as a first step.


Thanks,
R. Singh
