Resolved Batchmod using terminal?

[albacor]

How would one achieve this using Terminal?

WARNING, try on a small directory first:

chown -R skynet:staff <directory>
chmod -R u=rwX,g=rwX,o=rX <directory>

The capital X will only set the X bit on files that had it before.
Like all directories.

The chown for the ownership will only work as root, not as a regular user.
Unless the files already belong to you, than it's pointless.

Yep, tried your solution, and it's all good!

You're the man! Thanks!

You can also use numericals instead of rwx. In this case chmod -R 775 <dir> does the same thing. Check out the manual for more info: man chmod.
