Hello list, Imagination does not honor any restriction, and something similar has come in my mind. Can we have any folder with customized permission level, so that, whenever we create/move any files/folders with in that folder, those automatically get a predefined permission level ? Say we move test ( 755 as permission ) file into xyz folder, and the test file will get 722 permission. I have flipped through the SUID and GUID by those are related with ownership. Is there any way by chance ?
Maybe 'inotify' is what you want. From the description of inotify-tools: Description: command-line programs providing a simple interface to inotify inotify-tools is a set of command-line programs for Linux providing a simple interface to inotify. These programs can be used to monitor and act upon filesystem events. inotify-tools consists of two utilities: . inotifywait simply blocks for inotify events, making it appropriate for use in shell scripts. . inotifywatch collects filesystem usage statistics and outputs counts of each inotify event.
