script on USB key ubuntu

I try to run a sript from the usb key but does not run.
the same script run hard disk.

Hi,

check the mount permissions of the USB key. Which filesystem format does it have?

Tanks crts, here is the mount info: /dev/sdc1 /media/7006-72B1 vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0077,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro 0 0

an other info: the same key with the same script run on an other PC!
???

From the man-page for mount:

Code:

showexec

              If  set, the execute permission bits of the file will be allowed

              only if the extension part of the name is .EXE, .COM,  or  .BAT.

              Not set by default.

Have you tried renaming the script to have a suffix as mentioned above? You might also try to mount it with the 'exec' option. Then renaming the files might not be necessary. Not sure about that since I usually do not run Unix scripts from a windows partition. Try as root

Code:

mount -o remount,rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0077,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,exec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro /dev/sdXX

where /dev/sdXX is your USB key.

Hi crts,

when i try your command i get the folowing error:

root@al-N68S3:/home/al# mount -o remount,rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0077,codepage=cp437,iocharset=is o8859-1,shortname=mixed,exec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro /dev/sdc1
mount: can not find /dev/sdc1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

thanks

Try omitting the remount option and supplying a mountpoint:

Code:

mount -o rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0077,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,exec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro /dev/sdc1 /path/to/mountpoint

The above command assumes that the USB key is not mounted.

Thank you crts,

root@al-N68S3:/home/al# mount -o rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0077,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,exec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro /dev/sdc1 /USBDISK
mount: le point de montage /USBDISK n'existe pas
root@al-N68S3:/home/al# mount -o rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0077,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,exec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro /dev/sdc1 /media/USBDISK
mount: le point de montage /media/USBDISK n'existe pas
root@al-N68S3:/home/al# mount -o rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0077,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,exec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro /dev/sdc1 /media
mount: périphérique spécial /dev/sdc1 n'existe pas

I have tried the syntaxes above , but i still get erros.

so i have formated the usb key with ext4 in stead of fat and the script run now

i will reformat it back to FAT and see what`s happen

thank you vey much crts

Those messages mean that the directories /USBDISK and /media/USBDISK do not exist. You will have to create them first:

Code:

mkdir /media/USBDISK

The following message

Quote:

mount: périphérique spécial /dev/sdc1 n'existe pas

means that your USB key has probably not been identified as /dev/sdc. Issue the following after you plug in your USB:

Code:

dmesg|tail

The output will tell you that a new device has been recognized and which name it was assigned. You will have to use this name to mount your USB key. Sample output:

Code:

# dmesg |tail

[20935.382010] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off

[20935.382014] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00

[20935.382016] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through

[20935.385752] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through

[20935.385757]  sdb: sdb1

[20935.620217] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through

[20935.620223] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk

[20936.446325] kjournald starting.  Commit interval 5 seconds

[20936.452763] EXT3 FS on sdb1, internal journal

[20936.452771] EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

So my USB drive has in this case been recognized as /dev/sdb. It further tells me that there is one partition /dev/sdb1. The latter can be mounted.

Hi CRTS,

Thank you for your help.
yes i have there was no directory to mount the the usb key

now it works in FAT too

thanks
