Thanks a lot! Yes it is my wrong spelling. I am studying linux and find the code"chomd +x mydat" in one book. So it results in that problem that I can't find the correct information through "man". Anycases, thanks again! -----ååéä----- åää: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]äè; Brian Fahrlander åéæé: 2004å10æ13æ 19:15 æää: For users of Fedora Core releases äé: Re: What is meaning of this code: chomd +x mydate On Wed, 2004-10-13 at 05:26, Clint Harshaw wrote: > root wrote: <<---- this isn't good.

Good call, Clint. On all these commands, don't forget "man chmod", too. I didn't realize that no "a" intimates an "a". I've been using "chmod a+x myfile" since the late 80's. Good to know. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian FahrlÃnder Christian, Conservative, and Technomad Evansville, IN http://www.fahrlander.net ICQ 5119262 AIM: WheelDweller ------------------------------------------------------------------------
