That's great for Linux, but it doesn't make for very portable scripting since stat is not on all flavors of Unix... :)

For example, 'stat --format "%A" filename' will produce the human readable access rights that you're looking for -- and if this is something being parsed by a script, you might end up having cleaner output to read. I don't see any documentation that indicates there's a way to make the new 'ls' output the access rights without the dot if the filesystem has SELinux attributes. -- Jonathan Billings <[email protected]> College of Engineering - CAEN - Unix and Linux Support _______________________________________________ rhelv6-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv6-list _______________________________________________ rhelv6-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv6-list
