Hello,
the updatepermissions.sh file in the updater to WowzaStreamingEngine-Update-4.8.5 does execute some find commands which change file permissions and file owners.
These also include and change all files in the /content/ folder!
This should NOT be done automatically. The content folder should be excluded from the find because it could cause some major problems. Our content folder contains a huge library which is mountet by NFS and also used by other software. Running these modifying finds is neither what we expected nor wandted to be done by the updater.
# cat updatepermissions.sh
#!/bin/bash
OS=$1
INST_DIR=$2
# Configure permissions
find -L $INST_DIR -type f -iname "*.jar" | xargs -I {} chmod 644 "{}"
# The following command finds all entries that are files and those that start with a shebang line at the top of the file
# skips paths that have examples and .app suffix (.app suffix only applicable to osx but doesn't hurt linux)
find -L $INST_DIR -type f ! -path "*/examples/*" ! -path "*/*\.app/*" -exec awk 'NR > 1 { exit }; /^#!.*sh/{print FILENAME}' {} \; | xargs -I {} chmod 755 "{}"
# Configure ownership
if [ "$OS" = "linux" ]
then
find -L $INST_DIR -type f | grep -v wms-server.jar | xargs -I {} chown --reference $INST_DIR/lib/wms-server.jar "{}"
else
OWNER=`stat -f "%u:%g" "$INST_DIR/lib/wms-server.jar"`
find -L $INST_DIR -type f | grep -v wms-server.jar | xargs -I {} chown $OWNER "{}"
fi
