Hey guys, A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, someone posted an example of how to set file permissions with rebol, as in: chmod 755 file.r Could someone please help me locate the old post, or just tell me how it's done? Thanks, -tom

Hi Tom Use and security needs define the permission you need to set. For making a rebol script executable on a Unix/Linux system, yes it is very common to use chmod 755 somescript.r As well as the script permsissions itself, you may need to pay attention to the permissions for teh folder the script lives. Managing the owner and group a file or folder is essential too for many uses. It is very worth while to study up on, and experiment with permission settings. They are crucial to make sure FTP software will work properly and Apache in cgi-bin, or if you when other programs need to use your rebol scripts. Also when reading and writing from data files which rebol is creating or sharing. In rebol there is no hard line between data and programs. It is a continuum so the use is imporant to define which permissions to assign for rebol scripts. There are many handy tutorials in books and online.

Hi, see http://www.rebol.com/docs/core25.html Here are a few starters (for Unix, the applicable modes may differ on different OS's) ;---Check what modes you can set:

>> probe get-modes %test.file 'file-modes

[status-change-date modification-date access-date owner-name group-name owner-id group-id owner-read owner-write owner-execute group-read group-write group-execute world-read world-write world-execute set-user-id set-group-id full-path] ;---Check what modes are set for a file:

>> probe get-modes %test.file [ owner-read owner-write owner-execute

group-read group-write group-execute world-read world-write world-execute ] [owner-read: true owner-write: true owner-execute: false group-read: true group-write: false group-execute: false world-read: false world-write: false world-execute: false] ;---Set a new mode for a file: set-modes %test.file [ owner-execute: true ] Brgds /Micael -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fran: Tom Foster [mailto:[rebpost--linuxfreemail--com]] Skickat: den 14 maj 2002 15:24 Till: [rebol-list--rebol--com] Amne: [REBOL] permissions reminder?

Hi, Tom, Given a file something like the following (for example): 8<----------beginning of demo.r---------- !#/usr/bin/rebol -sq REBOL [] print {Content-type: text/html <html> <head><title>Demo!</title></head> <body bgcolor="#ffccff"> <h1>Demo!</h1> <p>This is... (are you ready for it?)... a demo!</p> </body> </html> } 8<-------------end of demo.r------------- (where the path to your REBOL interpreter is sustituted appropriately, of course), you can then issue the shell command chmod 755 demo.r after which demo.r is a legitimate command-line command. (It works for other things than CGI as well...) Hope this helps! -jn- Tom Foster wrote:
