Mostly code block formatting
What does capital T mean in 'ls'?
- What does capital T mean in the output of 'ls -l'?
- I had a nightly cronjob start throwing errors about "inappropriate permissions..."

looking into it I found:> [myname@myserver ~]$ ll /opt/dell/srvadmin/var/log/openmanage/omcmdlog.xml- -rw-rw-r-T. 1 root root 735 Dec 19 22:03 /opt/dell/srvadmin/var/log/openmanage/omcmdlog.xml
- I suspected the 'sticky bit'.
Googling it I found this reference:- `T'
- If the restricted deletion flag or sticky bit is set but the
- other-executable bit is not set.
> $ lsattr /opt/dell/srvadmin/var/log/openmanage/omcmdlog.xml- -------------e-- /opt/dell/srvadmin/var/log/openmanage/omcmdlog.xml
I thought lsattr would show it if it was set sticky but I guess not.What does the capitol T mean and how do I get rid of it?
