Hi All,

Probably a simple question for everyone here but I can't seem to find the
answer anywhere on the net.

This is not a security or SSH question, so it is off-topic here.

I am trying to set all .pl files permissions to 715 recursively in all
folders.

I execute the command:

chmod 715 -R *.pl

But all this does is change all the pl files in the current directory and
doesn't seem to go through all directories. Any suggestions?

man bash; man chmod; man find; man xargs

Then after you read them carefully, do this:

find . -name \*.pl -exec chmod 715 {} \; -print
