Show HN: File Permissions Ninja

Every time you click on a checkbox the permalink is change according to the permission, so its easier to copy the permalink. Therefore when you click the back button you're going to the previous state.

Do you think its not a good behavior?

I didn't because i wrote a small command line utility to open the site with the right parameters.

You can also use it (instructions for ubuntu):

Copy the folowing to file with the name per:

#!/bin/bash

NC='\e[0m' # No Color

green='\e[0;32m'

blue='\e[0;34m'

if [ "$#" == "0" ]; then

echo "Usage: $0 filename" exit 1 fi

if [ "$#" != "1" ]; then

red='\e[0;31m'

echo -e "${red}$# Is illegal number of parameters.${NC}" exit 1 fi

usage(){

echo -e '\tper'

echo -e '\tOpen http://file-permissions.ninja with permission of the file.'

exit 1

}

if [ "$1" == "help" ] || [ "$1" == "-help" ] || [ "$1" == "-h" ] ; then

usage

fi

mode="`LC_ALL=C LANG=C /bin/ls -ld "$1" | LC_ALL=C LANG=C awk '{ print $1 }'`" || exit $?

echo -e "${blue}Opening: ${green}http://file-permissions.ninja/#$mode${NC}"

xdg-open 'http://file-permissions.ninja/#'$mode &> /dev/null

exit 0

# EOF ----------------------------------

Move per to folder within the path.

Let's say:

sudo mv per /bin

Now grant it execute permission:

sudo chmod +x /bin/per

Now you can use it with:

per filename

it's supposed to open the site with the permissions of filename.

Also, when typing into the binary input, it isn't updating immediately on key-up like the rest of the inputs -- I'm having to hit the arrow keys to get it to update.

Nice utility, though!

Working on it...

Now it should work with the number pad.

To make it work load it without cache: ctrl+shift+R

Thanks for the comment!
