Re: QSHELL - Command syntax

[Scott Klement <klemscot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The normal way to do this at a UNIX prompt would be:

   cd /QOpenSys/usr
   find . -exec chmod 777 {} \;

Any file or subdirectory under '/QOpenSys/usr' gets it's mode changed
to 777.

Of course, you'll want to change the mode that you use to match your
requirements.  (In most cases, 777 isn't a great idea...)

In theory, this should work under QSH as well.   Good luck.
