Change permissions with find command example.

 Basic Example: Find and chmod

To find and delete all .log files in the current directory and its subdirectories, use this command: [1, 2, 3]

bash

find .  -exec chmod 777 {} \;

Use code with caution.

Understanding the Syntax Breakdown

• find .: Starts the search in the current directory.
• options follow
• -type f: Restricts the search specifically to files, ignoring folders.
• -name "*.log": Matches files with a .log extension.
• -exec: Tells find to run a command on every match.
• chmod 777: The external command you want to run.
• {}: A placeholder that find dynamically replaces with the filename of each match.
• \;: Terminates the -exec sequence. The backslash escapes the semicolon so your shell does not process it first.
