How will this affect the folder. What if you do this to the user folder itself? Why didn't you execute the command using sudo instead of sudo -i (which can be dangerous)?<BR/><BR/>What sort of side effects are we going to encounter and how do we undo this if things go awry?<BR/><BR/>It is best that you always provide answers and of course warnings if anything could possibly go bad here.The Real Takehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06880993855668405142noreply@blogger.com
