Hi,

are you saying that you want people to be able to run it, but not read it? If so, I think you are out of luck.

yes evo .. thats what i want .. i read somewhere that we can convert the shell script to binary format so that it is unreadable & extension of the file will be shc.x.c.

May be somebody else must know the solution.

Hi,

it's not really encrypting it, but you could turn it into a binary using something like shc http://www.datsi.fi.upm.es/~frosal/

Put "script to binary" into your favorite search engine for other suggestions.
