Find files on certain directory for excluding files certain permission

Why is this useful? When your directory contains thousands of files.
Yes, CHMOD is slow and surprisingly very I/O taxing.
So being able to use 'find' command first to only CHMOD certain files
that needs to be CHMODED is useful.


find /your_directory ! -perm 0777

-OR-

find /your_directory \! \( -perm 0777 -o -perm 0775 \)

Check if file or directory exists using bash or shell script sh

if [ -f file_path_name.ext ]

then

echo "file exists"

else

echo "file does not exists"

fi

if [ -d directory_path ]

then

echo "dir exists"

else

echo "dir does not exists"

fi
