I would like to change the owner of a bunch of folders whose name begins with a dash...
When you are using shell commands, if you use double-dash, you don't need to escape it.
[root@red ~]# mkdir -- "-test" [root@red ~]# chown oracle -- -test [root@red ~]# ls -ld -- -test drwxr-xr-x 2 oracle root 4096 Oct 20 16:01 -test
-- stops the commands continuing the parsing the parameters as options.
Cheers,
