Hi all,

I was wondering if anybody out there has delt with getting java to change permissions in unix. (i.e. able to call things like chmod and chown)

I found a thrid party module that might to the trick:

Has anybody used this before? Does anybody know of a better way?

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the find titaniumdecoy!

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("chmod 444 file.txt");
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("chown foo:group file.txt");

Does the trick! Let's all do a dance in celebration! :banana:

(Sorry...just had to get him in there)
