Propagating ACL’s via command line… Is it possible?

[Zeheeba]

Hello all,

Does anyone know of a way to propagate permissions via command line? I’m in a situation where I have to had to change permissions on over 200 folders in a automated Structure. I can handle changing the ACL via chmod, but cannot find a way to duplicate selecting “Propogate ACLS” in WGM via command line.

Any help would be appreciated.

Kindest Regards,
Daniel Costello

Er… chmod -R? Or are you asking for something else?

Thanks for writing back.

If I use the -R argument, it will set the permission on every file folder, but doesn’t do it as inherited from the top level down, they just go in as implicit ACL’s. It would still work the same, just not as clean. I’m probably going to have to go with that due to not wanting to touch 200 different folders with WGM. : )

Regards,
Daniel
