I thought directories supported the same monitors as files so you could check for mode=777, for example. However, the man page seems to contradict this.

What's the point of monitoring for it? To let you know you need to correct them? If that, why not just put a cron job in place that sets them properly?

Hi guys
I have a directory on a client system, and it needs to have permission of 777
From time to time, automated software updates sets it to 770.
I am looking for a way to check this, and alert when permissions are not as they should be.
Any advice appreciated.
Regards
Vernon
