 Unix Tip #4310- December 29, 2012
 
CHANGING OWNERS REGULARLY  
  
  
If you're an SA and need to change file ownership permissions  
on a regular basis, this script may help you. If you want to  
change the ownership of all the files owned by abc user to xyz  
user, this can be accomplished by chgowner abc xyz with this  
script. Of course you should have rootly powers(deity) to change  
other people's files ;).

#!/bin/ksh  
#chgowner - written by Rainer Raab on Solaris 2.5.1  
  
if [ $# -eq 2 ]; then  
OLDOWNER=$1  
NEWOWNER=$2  
else  
echo "usage: `basename $0` [original file owner] [new file owner]"  
exit 1  
fi  
  
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/local/bin  
  
FILES=`ls -Al|grep $OLDOWNER|awk '{print $9}'|grep -v "./"`  
for i in $FILES; do  
chown $NEWOWNER $i  
done
