chmod 777 1

[BlindPete]

Hello,
Can anyone direct me to a link or describe how to accomplish the following... perhaps with a CRON?

say I have a path: home/someuser/files

I want to chmod 777 all the files & folders below this path. I know very little about linux and I am not sure how to accomplish this.

I prefectly happy to do a lot reading if someone knows a good resource for this type of question.

[marc@host4 marc]$ [COLOR=red]chmod --help[/color]
Usage: chmod [OPTION]... MODE[,MODE]... FILE...
  or:  chmod [OPTION]... OCTAL-MODE FILE...
  or:  chmod [OPTION]... --reference=RFILE FILE...
Change the mode of each FILE to MODE.

  -c, --changes           like verbose but report only when a change is made
  -f, --silent, --quiet   suppress most error messages
  -v, --verbose           output a diagnostic for every file processed
      --reference=RFILE   use RFILE's mode instead of MODE values
  -R, --recursive         change files and directories recursively
      --help     display this help and exit
      --version  output version information and exit

Each MODE is one or more of the letters ugoa, one of the symbols +-= and
one or more of the letters rwxXstugo.

Report bugs to <bug-fileutils@gnu.org>.

you need the -R or --recursive option.
