The current directory contains the following file:
-rw-r`"r`" 1 root exec 24551 Apr 2 12:36 test.sh
The file contains a valid shell script, but executing this file using ./test.sh leads to this error: bash: ./test.sh: Permission denied
What should be done in order to successfully execute the script?
The error encountered, 'Permission denied', indicates that the file does not have the execute permission. In Unix-like operating systems, a script needs to have the execute bit set in its permissions in order to be run directly from the command line using ./filename. This can be done using the chmod command, for example, chmod +x test.sh. Changing the file extension, adding the user to a specific group, setting the SetUID bit, or modifying the shebang line would not resolve the 'Permission denied' error in this case.
B is the answer. You need to add X to the file permissions.
"The execute bit should be set in the file's permissions. " Is this English grammatically correct?
its correct.
First lesson in IT. Grammar do not matter lol
are the "" supposed to be -(dashes)?
We need to add "x" to the file permissions.
The execute bit should be set in the file's permissions.
