I'm working on a script to create users and grant them access to a directory, but they have to be added to the group that has permissions on the directory. I noticed that if I do a stat on the directory I can list out the group name:
[root@pizzaServer myuser]# stat /ftp/PizzaFolder
File: ‘/ftp/PizzaFolder’
Size: 22 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 directory
Device: fd03h/64771d Inode: 2108605 Links: 3
Access: (0750/drwxr-x---) Uid: ( 0/ root) **Gid: (1934800276/PizzaGroup)**
And then I can grep it:
[root@pizzaServer myuser]# stat /ftp/PizzaFolder | grep Gid
Access: (0750/drwxr-x---) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: (1934800276/PizzaGroup)
And then possibly use sed to crop out the group name? Is that the best method or is there another way? I only want the group name "PizzaGroup" as an output.

Get group name of owner:
stat -c "%G" /ftp/PizzaFolder
