Cron job to update permissions with a dynamic path structure

  • 772

I have a 3rd party tool that requires a manual permissions modification on a file following an update (Dont even get me started on this, but it is what it is for now)

I would love to setup a cronjob that will update the permissions for me.

However, the path is going to be dynamic and will look something like this:

/foo/bar/v1.1.0/FILE_TO_MODIFY

Where the version number will change on each release. Old versions are kept in the same directory for rollback purposes

I have no idea how to solve this challenge. The idea of a symlink to "latest" came to mind but because I have no control over the folder structure of their application, I cant set this up

    I used @Gerald Schneiders solution:

    Well, if it really is a single file and you don't care if it is reset on older versions as well ... chmod [...] /foo/bar/*/FILE_TO_MODIFY would do it.
