Hi,

I want to know How to run chmod command on Files Only,

For Example I am in test directory
Under which serveral dirs are and around 1000 files are there how to run this command on files only.

There are probably several methods, but one is to use find to produce a list of all files (not directories) and then execute chmod on each of them. For example
Change the red parts to fit your needs. If you wonder what that '{}' is..well, you may have guessed that it's where the filelist is being put when exec'ing the given command on each file.

You can also first try the command without chmod'ing to see that it affects the right files:
The above would find all regular files (not directories, for example) from within /my/directory.

If the command happens to throw you an error about the exec part, chances are it's because of the plus sign (+) that ends the exec part. In this case try replacing the plus (+) with an escaped semicolon (\;) so it becomes
On some machines I remember that it worked with semicolon (which needs a backslash in front of it, to protect it from being interpreted by your shell), but on my current installation it's the plus sign (without a backslash).

Another way would probably be to list all regular files on the directory (using either find or any tool that can just list all files without directories) and then pipe the output to xargs with which the chmod was run.

Hope this helps..read
for more information. Enjoy!

i'd just use find...

find /var/blah/ -type f -exec chmod 744 {}\;

wow, that reply puts me to shame...
