Hi,
I am trying to check permissions on all files located in a folder on a red hat 5 system. They should all be the same so i need to find out if there is a file which doesnt have the correct permissions set and for the purpose of the check needs to just evaluate as true.
Relevance to get list is:-
modes of find files “*” of folder “/home/%username%/training/testdir/logextracts/”
A: rwx------
A: rwx------
A: rwx------
A: rwx------
A: rwx------
A: rwx------
A: rwx------
A: rwx------
A: rwx------
A: rwx------
A: rwx------
A: rwx------
A: rwx------
A: rwx------
A: rwxr–r--
A: rwx------
A: rwx------
Is there a way to check this. I have looked at different ways but cant seem to find anything that works as it should. Need a fresh pair of eyes 
Thanks in advance.

I have done some further digging and found the following relevance has worked a treat in case anyone else gets this.
exists (files of folder “/home/%USERNAME%training/testdir/logextracts”) whose ( mode of it as string != “rwx------” )
Seems so simple now i look at it. Can’t believe i didn’t get this first time.

Are you sure that’s the correct relevance? Whenever I try that, I get a “string constant had an improper %-sequence” error…

Apologies i should have made it clear i changed my actual username with “%USERNAME%” so as not to give it away (perhaps too paranoid, but you never know )which is probably why you are getting this error. If you change this to your username (if using your home directory) it should work.
I have tested this on a number of fixlets checking files of different folders and has worked fine for me.

Ah - I thought you were attempting to check all of the home directories for all users on the system… My mistake.
