chown needs and a new option: An option that allows you to change only the contents of directories and not directories and subdirectories.
After the end of the day I need "user 1" to be able to read and add files, but NOT delete after 5pm. note: that the contents of some folders cannot be deleted; however the directory can receive new files. For that I created the following script: ############################### script ########################### ###Actual structure of folders### --> /LVM/MONITORAMENTO/CARROS/CARRO-11897/2022/MAIO/DIA 27/Data/00001610.ub1 ###variable### DATA=`date +/%Y/%^B/DIA ` ###commands### chown root:root -v /LVM/MONITORAMENTO/CARROS/CARRO-381*/$DATA*/*/* chown root:root -v /LVM/MONITORAMENTO/CARROS/CARRO-380*/$DATA*/*/* chown root:root -v /LVM/MONITORAMENTO/CARROS/CARRO-379*/$DATA*/*/* chown root:root -v /LVM/MONITORAMENTO/CARROS/CARRO-378*/$DATA*/*/* chown root:root -v /LVM/MONITORAMENTO/CARROS/CARRO-377*/$DATA*/*/* chown root:root -v /LVM/MONITORAMENTO/CARROS/CARRO-376*/$DATA*/*/* chown root:root -v /LVM/MONITORAMENTO/CARROS/CARRO-11899*/$DATA*/*/* chown root:root -v /LVM/MONITORAMENTO/CARROS/CARRO-11898*/$DATA*/*/* chown root:root -v /LVM/MONITORAMENTO/CARROS/CARRO-11897*/$DATA*/*/* ############################## end of script ######################### Everything would be simplified if [chwon] had an (option) that ignores directories and sub-directories, reaching only the files. Example: The command line would be reduced to just one line. Ex: chown root:root -v -(new option) /LVM/MONITORAMENTO/CARROS/CARRO-* Observation: (new option) = contents of directories (files) only Maxsuel Marcelino Brasil maxz...@gmail.com
