My suggestion is simple, but would be tedious to implement. I use it to run a program as a different user, overriding their default umask. /home/other/bin/my-program.sh contains #!/bin/bash umask u=rwx,go= /usr/bin/real-program "$@" But it's tedious to have to replace real-program by /home/other/bin/my-program.sh in all the places it/they might get called from. I only have to do this once (in .bashrc) because I'm a bash/xterm/fvwm guy using bash functions. Cheers, David.
