Some useful permission setting scripts

2003-06-10 Thread Max Polk
I've tried a bunch of things, nothing seems to work better and more cleanly than these few scripts I wrote for setting or resetting file permissions in cygwin on Windows XP, especially when things seem "stuck" or "weird". The order of the chmod and the chown before the cacls command is important.
