Chmod Multiple Directories via Terminal Script or Applescript

Question

Hey everyone!
Im managing multiple labs and unfortunately need to change some directories on my workstations in order for my network users to access Applications with no errors. So i'm looking to create an Applescript or terminal script (not to fluent with terminal scripts yet) that will chmod 777 all of the directories I need to open. Can anyone help?
Does anyone how to prep a Applescript where I can just add in the directories that I need to modify?

Answer 1

I don't reccomend chowning any folder on a lab machine 777.
I manage over 700 macs in a university environment and almost no software requires that frivolous of a permissions scheme. most temp files will be written to the user's home directory, at most you want to set applications 0775, or 0755
but if you want to change the perms on a specific list of programs / folders then you can put all the names of each folder in a text file and loop through that
-------------this is your script------------------
#!/bin/bash
file="your text file"
for i in $( cat $file ); do
chown -R 0775 $i
done
