#
# When new elements are created in the VOB change the
# elements ownership to the owner of the VOB and change element
# permissions to appropiate for element_type.
#
# NOTE: If a particular file_type is not implemented in
#       your VOB then comment it out.  Unspecified file_types
#       will have origional permissions, but will have 
#       ownership changed.

This trigger script is expected to be called from a post-mkelem trigger. 

Create an element global trigger and apply to post-mkelem:

    cleartool mktrtype -ele -all -post mkelem  \
          -c "Protect all elements after they are created in the VOB." \
          -exec {path}/PROTECT.sh PROTECT
   or 

    cleartool mktrtype -ele -all -post mkelem  \
          -c "Protect all elements after they are created in the VOB." \
          -exec "{path}/perl {path}/PROTECT.pl" PROTECT

Shortcut using...

If using ClearTrigger, you don't need to write ANY trigger code... Just turn on this functionality bit (bit 1) in the configuration file.
