Hi there;

I want to write a bash script that aliases chmod
e.g. chmod u+x filename command will be aliased as: user can execute filename

So, when the user writes 'user can execute filename' as command the user will have execution permission on that filename file...filename may vary...
It seems there are 72 options...

How is it possible to do of such script? Any sample codes or ideas?

Best regards...

do
   echo alias $X=\'chmod $X\'
done
