MAIN CONTENT

PURPOSE

This script is intended to capture and restore the file permission of a given directory example - ORACLE_HOME. The script will create a output file called permission_ and permission_.cmd

REQUIREMENTS

The script needs to be run on command prompt of Unix platform .

Perl is required to execute this script

Shell is required to run the shell script .

CONFIGURING

Download and save the script on your server as permission.pl

Provide the execute permission on the script

INSTRUCTIONS

Run the script from the location where you have downloaded and saved it

./permission.pl <Path name to capture permission>

CAUTION

This sample code is provided for educational purposes only and not supported by Oracle Support Services. It has been tested internally, however, and works as documented. We do not guarantee that it will work for you, so be sure to test it in your environment before relying on it.

Proofread this sample code before using it! Due to the differences in the way text editors, e-mail packages and operating systems handle text formatting (spaces, tabs and carriage returns), this sample code may not be in an executable state when you first receive it. Check over the sample code to ensure that errors of this type are corrected.

Note : This script can restore permission back to the point at which it was captured. It is not intended to reset the permission.

SCRIPT

Execute the script from the dollar ($) prompt

Steps to capture permission of a directory


  2. Download the script from ​​here​​
  3. Log in as “oracle” user
  4. copy the file to a location say /home/oracle/scripts
  5. Give execute permission

$ chmod 755 permission.pl
  1. Execute the script to capture permission
$ cd /home/oracle/scripts
$ ./permission.pl <Path name to capture permission>

Script generates two files

a. ​​permission-<time stamp>​​ - This contains file permission in octal value, owner and group information of the files captured

b. ​​restore-perm-<time stamp>.cmd​​ - This contains command to change the permission, owner, and group of the captured files

Steps to restore captured permission of the directory


  2. Copy the “restore-perm-.cmd” to desired location or NODE
  3. Give execute permission to file generated during capture

chmod 755 restore-perm-<timestamp>.cmd
  1. execute .cmd file to restore the permission and the ownership
$ ./restore-perm-<timestamp>.cmd

Note: In case of RAC setup for GRID_HOME, execute permission.pl and restore-perm-.cmd as root user.

Note: In case of RAC setup review the file restore-perm-.cmd to check for the node specific information like NODENAME, if any make necessary changes.
