Hi Craig,

I would like to change the owner of a bunch of folders whose name begins

When you are using shell commands, if you use double-dash, you don't need to escape it.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# mkdir -- "-test"
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# chown oracle -- -test
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ls -ld -- -test
drwxr-xr-x  2 oracle root 4096 Oct 20 16:01 -test

-- stops the commands continuing the parsing the parameters as options.

Cheers,

Hakan
