Permission change query
I need to change permission for a directory from drwxrwxrwx to drwxr--s--T

What chmod command will work?

What will be the number code to represent the required permission?

The number is 3710 and
chmod 3710 dir
should work. Unless your chmod implements silly restrictions against this (as, I believe, Solaris does). In that case, cheat a little bit with...
perl -e 'chmod(03710, shift);' dir

Code:
$ chmod 0 file
$ perl -e 'chmod(03710,shift);' file
$ ls -l file
-rwx--s--T  1 bin  other  41 Jul 18 02:27 file
$

Thanks Perderabo. I've read many of your articles in this site. It would be good if you could write one about permissions (including handling s and t bits).

Thank You!
