I run my amule daemon and when it downloads new files they are created with the permissiones value assigned in ~/.aMule/amule.conf (PermissionFiles=[value in decimal]). Because I wanted the files are created with permissions 666 I give it this value: "PermissionFiles=438" (in decimal). However, Gentoo default umask (/etc/profile) is 022, so aMule will create the file with 644 (666 - 022), as you can read in "man 2 umask". Well, because of this, I thought the best solution would be run amuled with umask 000. Something like this is a valid example: my-amule.sh ---- #!/bin/sh umask 0000 exec /usr/bin/amuled In this way, Gentoo would make easier to users to set the wished permissions with files will be created by aMule. I submitted a bug for this situation in aMule Mantis and they preffer aMule follows considering umask to create files. I am not able to imagine an elegant way to do this, but this could be an example: --quiet --background \ --make-pidfile --pidfile /var/run/amuled.pid \ -c ${AMULEUSER} \ - -x ${AMULEHOME}/my-amule.sh >${LOG} + -x /usr/bin/amuled >${LOG}
Is this still valid with the current stable version of amule?
