HELP !!! mkdir format

Using only one command, what is the format to create multiple directories with sub directories and seperate permissions for each?

If that was too easy, I need to do the same for several files going to different locations with their own independent permissions too.

You can't create more than one directory in one command. You could, however, execute multiple commands at once-- eg) "mkdir -m 0755 outer && mkdir -m 0555 outer/inner" etc. As for the files, do you want files copied from somewhere, or blank files created, etc???

If you want to create a directory without creating the intermediate directories then you can use

mkdir -p /1/2/3/4/5

where all the intermediate directories 1, 2, 3 and 4 will be automatically created for you.

As far as permissions are concerned it will be (0777 & umask). I don' t think of any such command which can change the permissions also for the directories in a single command.

You need to change them individually, if you want separate permissions for them.
