Owner of incrond file products?

Please [1] consider this command: sudo incrontab ~/incron-config where ~/incron-config contains:

/home/zetah/doc IN_CREATE,IN_MOVED_TO /home/zetah/scripts/do_something.sh $@/$#

and do_something.sh consists of [2]:

#! /bin/bash
python /home/zetah/scripts/py_something.py "$1"

Python script accesses some online services and produces 3 new files. They are owned by root.

Why is that and how can I change this behavior. I want to be the owner of those product files

Thanks

[2] Seems lame to wrap Python script in Bash script, but I couldn't do it otherwise

created files are owned by root probably because you run incrontab as root and then python inherit from it through bash

You can run incrontab from your own user, simply add your username in /etc/incron.allow (to allow you to use incron) and then recreate the incron table with your account with "incrontab -e" (don't forget to remove the entry from root)

Second option (if you can't modify incron.allow) is to call python with your username. In your bash script, modify :

python /home/zetah/scripts/py_something.py "$1"

in

su <username> -c"python /home/zetah/scripts/py_something.py '$1'"

Hope it's help
