chmod -R bug |

Hey guys.
I have a directory tree full of executable files but they should not be
executable. So I first wanted to do a
chmod -R -x *
and then a
chmod -R +X *
so that the directories can be opened again. But chmod makes a big mistake with
the first order: It first makes a directory unopenable and _then_ tries to open
it recursively. There should be an if-statement with the -R switch so that if
the mode will add opening permissions for directories, then it should first
apply the rules to the directory and then open it recursively but else, if it
will remove the opening permission for directories, then it should first go in
recursion and then make the directory unopenable.
Regards, Constantin
