File Permission

[36Buick 2]

I am trying to run the script that dcrdev wrote. I am still a little green on the command line on Ubuntu.

Here is the installation script (# sudo wget "https://raw.githubus...promovie.sh" -O/usr/bin/promovie && chmod +x /usr/bin/promovie).

I have download the script and placed it on my home file. (/home/ed/emby-server-deb_3.2.36.0_amd64.deb). I put the script file name into the installation at the three dots. I used the copy on all commands. I have enclosed a screen shot of the outcome. I am hopping someone can steer me in the right direction.

 

Thanks for any help you can give,

Wrong url. Fix the url to the one in your post

That script isn't what you think it is - it's for processing ripped movies (renaming, folder structures) and notifying Emby that you've added them. That was an early version of the script, the latest iteration is here: https://github.com/dcrdev/Promovie

 

I don't maintain or support the script and I don't use it myself anymore... I would recommend this much simpler script I wrote for another user on this forum:

#!/bin/bash
# --------------------------------------------------
# Usage: script.sh <username> <group> <path>
# --------------------------------------------------

declare -r USERNAME="$1"
declare -r GROUP="$2"
declare -r MEDIA_DIRECTORY="$3"

function tests {

    local thisScript=`basename "$0"`

    # Check for arguments
    if [ -z "$USERNAME" ] || [ -z "$GROUP" ] || [ -z "$MEDIA_DIRECTORY" ]; then
        echo "Usage: $thisScript <username> <group> <directory>"
        exit 1
    fi

    # Does the user exist?
    if ! id "$USERNAME" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        echo "The user $USERNAME does not exist!"
        exit 1
    fi

    # Does the group exist?
    if [ ! `getent group "$GROUP"` ]; then
        echo "The group $GROUP does not exist!"
        exit 1
    fi

    # Does the path exist?
    if [ ! -d "$MEDIA_DIRECTORY" ]; then
        echo "The path $MEDIA_DIRECTORY does not exist!"
        exit 1
    fi

    # Am I root?
    if [ "$(id -u)" != "0" ]; then
        echo "This script must be run as root!"
        echo "Trying sudo..."
        sudo sh "$0" "$USERNAME" "$GROUP" "$MEDIA_DIRECTORY"
        exit $?
    fi

}

function cleanup {

    # Cleanup any leftover acls / execute bits
    chmod -R a-x "$MEDIA_DIRECTORY"
    setfacl -R -bn "$MEDIA_DIRECTORY"

}

function ownership {

    # Set ownership and set gid
    chown -R "$USERNAME":"$GROUP" "$MEDIA_DIRECTORY"
    chmod -R g+s "$MEDIA_DIRECTORY"

}

function permissions {

    # Set conservative permissions
    chmod -R u+rwX "$MEDIA_DIRECTORY"
    chmod -R g+rwX "$MEDIA_DIRECTORY"
    chmod -R o+rX "$MEDIA_DIRECTORY"

}

function acls {

    # Enforce default permissions via acls
    setfacl -R -d -m u::rwX "$MEDIA_DIRECTORY"
    setfacl -R -d -m g::rwX "$MEDIA_DIRECTORY"
    setfacl -R -d -m o::r-X "$MEDIA_DIRECTORY"

}

tests && \
sleep 0.5 && \

cleanup >/dev/null 2>&1 && \
sleep 0.5 && \

ownership >/dev/null 2>&1 && \
sleep 0.5 && \

permissions >/dev/null 2>&1 && \
sleep 0.5 && \

acls >/dev/null 2>&1 && \
echo "Done."
