At Debian im trying to change specific directory ownership after every reboot. But in my case it doesnt work, because user always set as root at reboot time. When i try this in terminal it works well (i think because myUser session created) but i need to change it at reboot time.
So far i refer this link but it fails for me : https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/183183/using-chown-useruser-inside-bash-script
CURRENT_USER=$(who | awk 'NR==1{print $1}')
sudo chown -R $CURRENT_USER:$CURRENT_USER /myfile/foo
second way:
sudo chown -R ${USER:=$(/usr/bin/id -run)}:$USER /myfile/foo
i dont want to write like this :
sudo chown myUser:myUser /myfile/foo
Linux is a multiuser system. There can be more than one users logged in simultaneously or no one at all. Often there is no way to define something like a "default" user. There are however workarounds that you could use to find the "default" user if the machines are setup as typical single user company computers.
chown
command./home
. Only standard (non-system) users have a home directory. On standard systems they are named with the username.That beeing set: Your script will be highly dependent on the specific setup of the machines. Also there might be a less intrusive, less machine dependent and more secure solution to your problem. You could try to
The last option is actually used a lot. For example often web servers make their source directories owned by a group called www
and users, that are allowed to read/write the data are added to that group. This also works well in real multiuser systems like servers or shared machines.
