How can I count the number of subdirectories that don’t have the execute bit set?
This is my attempt but is there a better or more elegant way?
count=0; for d in */; do [[ -d $d && ! -x $d ]] && (( ++count )); done
printf %s\\n "$count"
My main interest is in checking if the execute bit is not set for all. That is not just for the current user.
>Solution :
The following counts directories without executable bit for current user:
find . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d '!' -executable -printf . | wc -c
The following counts directories that have 0 executable bits:
find . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d '!' -perm /111 -printf . | wc -c
The following counts directories that have 2 or less executable bits set:
find . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d '!' -perm -111 -printf . | wc -c
Parts from man find:
-perm /mode Any of the permission bits mode are set for the file. -perm -mode All of the permission bits mode are set for the file. -executable Matches files which are executable and directories which are searchable (in a file name resolution sense) by the current user.
