Open System Services Shell and Utilities Reference Manual (G06.27+, H06.04+)

User Commands (c) chgrp(1)

EXAMPLES

1. To change the group ownership of the ﬁle or directory named proposals to staff,enter:

chgrp staff proposals

The group access permissions for proposals now apply to staff. See the chmod(1) refer-

ence page for details.

2. To recursively change the group ownership of all OSS ﬁles on the local node to the

SUPER group, enter:

chgrp -W NOG -W NOE -R SUPER /

NOTES

Because /G and /E both appear in your local root directory, you should be very careful when

using OSS shell commands on or from the root directory. OSS shell commands that perform

recursive actions make no distinction between Guardian and OSS ﬁles or between local and

remote ﬁles. You can use the -W NOE and -W NOG ﬂags or the UTILSGE environment vari-

able to exclude objects in the Guardian ﬁle system or objects accessible through the Expand pro-

duct.

RELATED INFORMATION

Commands: chmod(1), chown(1), ls(1).

Functions: chmod(2), chown(2).

STANDARDS CONFORMANCE

The -W NOE and -W NOG ﬂags and the UTILSGE environment variable are HP extensions to

the XPG4 Version 2 speciﬁcation.
