I need to change the owner and group of a file or directory in Unix. How do I do this?

Question

Accepted Answer

You can change the owner and group of a file or directory using a <changeOwnerAndGroup> action. Because these changes require administrative privileges, you will need to require installation by the administrator. You will have to include a section like the one below inside an action list section of your XML installer project file.

       <changeOwnerAndGroup>
           <files>*/somefile.conf;*/var/somefile</files>
           <owner>nobody</owner>
           <group>nobody</group>
       </changeOwnerAndGroup>
