<p>I thought directories supported the same monitors as files so you could check for mode=777, for example. However, the man page seems to contradict this.<br>

<div>Hi guys<br>
<br>
</div>
I have a <b>directory </b>on a client system, and it needs to have permission of 777<br>
</div>
>From time to time, automated software updates sets it to 770.<br>
</div>
I am looking for a way to check this, and alert when permissions are not as they should be.<br>
</div>
Any advice appreciated.<br>
<br>
</div>
