G'day,

I'm looking for some pointers on how to do this scripting task.

I have a shared directory structure where alot of the files in each
directory have permisions of 644 I wanting to change it so that the
files are chmod 664 letting all users in the group read and write to the
data. without nuking the permissions on the directories along with the
files.
chmod -R won't work. There doesn't appear to be an option to
exclude dirs with chmod.
how would you go about doing this.
How about:

   # find . -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;

?

That will only change permissions on all files (-type f).

Regards,
Gonzalo
