Access Control Lists on a folder

Hey Guys!
I was writing a script that creates a folder structure and despite the fact that my scripting isn’t very strong at all, it works perfectly thus far. Here it is in it’s current form:

tell application "Finder"
	--Set the name and location of the new folder
	set loc to choose folder "Choose Parent Folder Location"
	set JobName to text returned of (display dialog "Please enter Job Name:" default answer "")
	set newfoldername to JobName
	set newfo to make new folder at loc with properties {name:newfoldername}
	make new folder at newfo with properties {name:"Edit"}
	set artw to make new folder at newfo with properties {name:"Art&Graphics"}
	make new folder at artw with properties {name:"Assets"}
	make new folder at artw with properties {name:"Layout"}
	make new folder at artw with properties {name:"Proofs"}
end tell

Now, what i need to do is find a way to set the group ACL on the folder called “Art&Graphics”. Can this be done via applescript? via UNIX? I’ve been searching google and this forum for answers and found nothing about Access Control Lists yet. Help! Thanks!

I suggest you to take a look at the «chown» utility to combine it with a «do shell script» command :slight_smile:
