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 ;).
