If I go ahead and try to CHMOD 50+ files (for example) I don't see anything happening, but it does take some time for all the commands to complete. I apologize if this is an option I was just unable to find, but I'd like to see
SUCCESS: <file/directory> permissions now set to <chmod level>
...or something similar. The CHMOD level would be displayed as textual or numerical depending on the other setting already set in options.
