Change Permissions and Move file

[cholder]

Hi

I have a spot that files are downloaded from the internet RSS feed, and then that file is in turn loaded into a program to be actioned. It seems the last apple update broke permissions.

I am trying to use Hazel to change the permissions to the correct setting for the program to be able to use the file.

I have a file in a folder called test permissions.
the Hazel script calls a script in this folder (~/Desktop/testpriv/changePer.sh)

It's a very simple script

*************
#!/bin/sh

sudo chown -R username:staff /Users/crholder/Desktop/From\ Internet

**********
it was returning this error from the hazel logs
Shellscript exited with non-successful status code: 126

I modified the script to be executable and now it returns this
Shellscript exited with non-successful status code: 1

Any help would be appreciated.

Note that "sudo" may require you to enter a password, which Hazel cannot do for you. You'd need to do something like using a setuid bit on the script instead, which is very unsafe and not recommended.

Tried taking the sudo out, still won't run

Is there another way to set permissions?

You have to also setuid it to run as root. Search around on how to do that. Again, though, it's a potential security hole so make sure you read up on it fully.
