Hi all,

I need to check the permissions of a file before using that file to access a Web Service. I need to check that only the 'user' has 'rwx' permissions, at the same time, the 'group' and 'others' part of the permissions string should not contain anything. That is, I should have a permission string as shown below for a file:

-rwx------

Can anybody tell me how to do this? A script should be very helpful.

I appreciate your time.

Thanks a lot,
sbk

Use this:

if test `ls -l anasti-tel1-ritp.txt| awk '{if($1=="-rwxr-----") print 0;else print 1}'` -eq 0
then echo "OK"
else echo "KO"
fi

I hope it's worthy for you.


Bye bye,
ducasio
