Hi!

Sometimes I don't like to use more IQ than I have though I sometimes think about the things I do... Maybe you should adjust the programs help text or the program. It does not lead to the one solution that I wish. Don't go onto the palms -- I like your program -- But some things should be as easy as they should...

firehead:~ # chmod -R aguo +rw /mnt/E/Dok.Work/KoMeth/Leif
chmod: invalid mode string: `aguo'
You have new mail in /var/mail/root
firehead:~ # chmod -R agu +rw /mnt/E/Dok.Work/KoMeth/Leif
chmod: invalid mode string: `agu'
firehead:~ # chmod -R +agurw /mnt/E/Dok.Work/KoMeth/Leif
chmod: invalid mode string: `+agurw'
firehead:~ # chmod
chmod: too few arguments
Try `chmod --help' for more information.
firehead:~ # chmod --help
Usage: chmod [OPTION]... MODE[,MODE]... FILE...
  or:  chmod [OPTION]... OCTAL-MODE FILE...
  or:  chmod [OPTION]... --reference=RFILE FILE...
Change the mode of each FILE to MODE.

-c, --changes like verbose but report only when a change is made
  -f, --silent, --quiet   suppress most error messages
  -v, --verbose           output a diagnostic for every file processed
      --reference=RFILE   use RFILE's mode instead of MODE values
  -R, --recursive         change files and directories recursively
      --help              display this help and exit
      --version           output version information and exit

Each MODE is one or more of the letters ugoa, one of the symbols +-= and
one or more of the letters rwxXstugo.

firehead:~ # chmod -R ugo +rw /mnt/E/Dok.Work/KoMeth/Leif

firehead:~ # chmod ugo +rw -R /mnt/E/Dok.Work/KoMeth/Leif
chmod: invalid mode string: `ugo'
firehead:~ # chmod -R +rw ugo /mnt/E/Dok.Work/KoMeth/Leif
chmod: getting attributes of `ugo': No such file or directory
firehead:~ # chmod -R +rw ugo /mnt/E/Dok.Work/KoMeth/Leif

firehead:~ # break for users brain... try alcohol instead...




firehead:~ # chmod -R ugo+rw /mnt/E/Dok.Work/KoMeth/Leif/*
firehead:~ # good - you got it though!


O.K. Now I got it. Could you please improve it visually in the next release or make it <space>aware?

"MODE is ONE CONNECTED string of one or more letters "ugoa" PLUS one of the symbols "+-=" AND one or more of the letters "rwxXstugo"... "



Thanks, and best regards,

Manuel
