fixperms on folders in shell script

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi,

I am using fixperms command to change permissions of diretories in my script, i have to change 3 directories permissions one by one using fixperms.

i tried the below code

code:

exec DIR1/fixperms -rRy DIR1
exec DIR2/fixperms -rRy DIR2
exec DIR3/fixperms -rRy DIR3

but this is not working, :wall: after executing the first command the script is terminating :(..

please help me how to change 3 directories permissions one by one ?

Your exec is a shell command that uses the shell's own process for the child, and the shell is then no longer running. Drop it.

3 
for DIR in DIR1 DIR2 DIR3 DIR4 .......
do
  fixperms -rRy $DIR
done

Where's the right man for fixperms? I found fixperm(1M) but it does not take a dir, it takes a specfile.

O/P might have been referring to fixperms.sh from old MySQL kit ?
