Hello,
I have looked through the archives and found things that tangentially
address this issue, but have not found something that's spot on. My
apologies if I overlooked something ... and my apologies also for
posting a question that I could answer myself after looking over a
beefy AppleScript book. To be honest, I do not have the time to do that
at the moment and need an answer asap ...
Here's the situation I'm trying to address: people are saving data to a
file server (OS X Server 10.2.2) that also acts as the CD burning
computer for data to be handed to vendors etc. (it's a small design
shop). The data is saved with the user and group info of the network
user, meaning the network admin account logging into the server has no
access to the files and folders and hence cannot burn CDs.
What I'd like to do is set up an AppleScript, linked to a folder via
Folder Actions, that changes the ownership of all items (folders and
items included therein) added to the folder to the network admin. Group
ownership should stay the same, to allow network users access to the
files after the process is complete.
I simply do not know the correct syntax for this procedure. How, for
example, do you make the necessary "sudo chown"-like commands and have
the admin password needed to authorize the change be entered
automatically?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.
Henrik Boes
