-- User configuration file for lsyncd.
--
-- This example refers to a common problem in unix.
--
-- You have a shared directory for a set of users and you want
-- to ensure all users have read and write permissions on all
-- files in there. Unfortunally sometimes users mess with their
-- umask, and create files in there that are not read/write/deleteable
-- by others. Usually this involves frequent handfixes by a sysadmin,
-- or a cron job that recursively chmods/chowns the whole directory.
--
-- This is another approach to use lsyncd to continously fix permissions.
--
-- One second after a file is created/modified it checks for its permissions
-- and forces group permissions on it.
--
-- This example regards more the handcraft of bash scripting than lsyncd.
-- An alternative to this would be to load a Lua-Posix library and do the
-- permission changes right within the onAction handlers.
----
-- forces this group.
--
fgroup = "staff"
-----
-- script for all changes.
