help with recursive chown 1

[InigoMontoya]

account IDs are screwed up on one of our servers. I need to search and chown all files with 1001 account ID to user1.
Anyone have a suggestion how I can do this with minimal code?

 

[pmurray99]

man find

find / -user 1001 | while read -- FILE
do
print chown username:groupname $FILE
done

when you've tested it, remove the print

 

[tikual]

vi ownchange.sh

find / -user $1 -exec chown $2 {} \;


Run:
chmod 744 ownchange.sh
ownchange.sh 1001 user1


I think this should be most minimal code and suitable for future.
