Re: OS400/Unix authority settings

You don't even have to go into the QShell environment - you can run the 
qsh command simply from CL, as there

strqsh cmd('chmod 644 filename')

That's it. This always returns a QSH0005 message as a completion message 
by default. You might want to set an environment variable, so that an 
error condition comes back as an escape message. The environment 
variable is QIBM_QSH_CMD_ESCAPE_MSG and needs to be set to 'Y' to get 
the escape message QSH0005 (when return status is > 0)

The first number is permissions for the owner of the object (read/write, 
or *RW in CHGAUT, although I don't know if CHGAUT can set the unix 
permissions the same way). The second number is for groups - a unix 
group, there are some equivalents in IFS. It is read in this case. The 
last number is for others - *PUBLIC is exactly the same - and is read in 
this case.

read = 4
write = 2
execute = 1

You add up what you want and use that number. There are several other 
syntactical ways to do this in the chmod utility. There's a QShell 
manual in InfoCenter.
