Need to change the user permissions i.e
$ touch myfile
$ls -l myfile
-rw-r--r--
$chmod u=+x myfile
Here I also want to give the execute prmission to the user but the list
command shows (Read & Write also removed why ?)
$ls -l
----r--r--
Yes the other way is to use the number(Octal) i.e
$chmod 700 myfile
$ls -l myfile
-rwx------
By using 744 with chmod it can show me desire desire result. How can I adjuct it by using Owner,Group & Others
Example chmod u=+r,+w,+x
So that I can view the the user have rwx permission.
Why do u use chmod command as chmod u=+x that's
a bit strange syntax. Don't you get any errors when you do that??
If you just want to add execute permission on
file use
chmod u+x filename
and you will see that x is ADDED and nothing is removed.
