Posted April 1, 201410 yr Hi All, I have read several online threads regarding umask, and its a great way to enforce default permissions, but I need more! The process is, a user drop a file on my server via FTP, then a server process needs to read, and execute the file. The user account and the application account is different accounts, but the do belong to the same group. This means that I also cannot do a chmod 775 as the application user because I'm not the owner. In the end the only way was to schedule a cron as root to set chmod 775 permissions recursively on the directories. This is not my preferred method, and I would like something more concrete without dependencies like knowing the root password or cron daemon that needs to be running. Is there no way to create a "trigger" of some sort that executed as soon as a file is received from a specific user or in a certain directory? Regards Stephan (slushpuppy) Continue reading...
