I am trying to create a go program so that I can peform an action that is more complex than the example I have below. I can't give sudo right so run the application due to some policy we have at work that certain groups can only have read permissions. The company also have a policy that states any new directory / file is set with restrictive permissions. What I wanted to do is create a program that runs as root. (Like ping runs as root) but it doesn't seem to work.
package main import ( "fmt" "os" "os/exec" ) func main() { cmd:=exec.Command("chmod","770", "/opt/app/mnt/mydirectory") cmd.Stdout = os.Stdout cmd.Stderr = os.Stderr err:=cmd.Run() if err != nil { fmt.Println("ERROR:", err) } } When I compile, then do a chmod 4755, and run it. I get a permissions denied. Looking for why this would be? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
