I might be over-complicating, but you can do this like so:
ls -la | grep -v apache | awk '{print $8}' | xargs chown newwonder:psgrp
You can probably change that a bit to get what you want.
find <pathname> -group <old group> -exec chown <newowner>:<newgroup> {} \;
find is a pretty powerful tool, you should learn its option if you want be
good at sysadmin/shell scripting. Some of the most useful search options
are:
-name
-iname
-mtime
-type
-size
-perm
-maxdepth/-mindepth
and the action options:
-exec
-delete
-print/-printf
and of course the operators to combine search options "-a", "-o" and "!"
okay thanks steve., will check with it.
cheers,
