Using $_ in the chmod command saved a good bit of typing ? obviously the $_ will contain the path to the file we?re talking about, as it was the last argument to the previous command.

change ownership en masse of files owned by a specific user, including files and directories with spaces

In the example, uid 0 is root. foo:foo are the user:group you want to make owner and group. '.' is the "current directory and below." -print0 and -0 indicate that filenames and directories "are terminated by a null character instead of by whitespace."

useful if you want to start running a svc as a non-privileged user instead of root.
