In your touch example above, you have used two different file names - that is obviously not the output from your actual commands and you have not shown the value of umask. You 'touch test2.txt', then you 'ls' the file test1.txt, then you show the ls output of test2.txt, where you have seemingly the output of umask 2. You should really do those commands from scratch and list the actual output, not a mock-up.
jBASE will use the umask setting of its inherited environment. Here, you are using jsh, which is a jBASE program, so it will pick up the umask that it received at the time it started up. jSH may be a little different in that it might respect the umask command on the command line, but I no longer remember - I think not though - you can test by changing umask at the jsh command line and seeing what happens when you create new files. But the best thing to do is to set umask in your .profile or bash profile. This is so that when you start your jBASE program, it inherits the umask from the environment it starts up in. You could also change jsh mode to sh mode, then use: umask 002 ; TEST.OPENSEQ Personally, I would not use jSH - just learn bash properly. I do not believe that we ever made any special environment things for umask, but there is something buzzing in the back of my head about umask. But start by setting umask before you start any jBNASE program. I checked the latest OPENSEQ docs on the jBASE web site. But whoever took my original text and wrote misleading things about read locks, and garbled the grammar, obviously did not know much about how it actually works, then compounded the garbled explanation with an example in lower case with comments such as: * open the jbase file open .... Yeah - I can see why you didn't consult the documentation!
