I can't execute homemade scripts in Linux!

antoniojo · 11-12-2003, 04:36 AM

Hi everybody! I have SuSe Linux 8.0, and when i try to execute any script made by me (i'm root) with the order "./<nameofscriptt>" it keeps me saying "bash: ./<nameofscript>: Permission denied". They're not even shellscripts, only scripts compiled with C by gcc (and its associated Makefile). I have set permissions with chmod also, (chmod 777 <nombrefichero> even), and to no avail. And the scripts works in other computers with the same Linux...

Anybody help me? I don't know what to do....
Thanks!

Try creating a new account with administrative privalages. Under root, provide group permissions to that user and change the ownership to that user as well. Finally, log in as that user, and try the scripts then. Feed me back information.

I know it sounds crazy maybe even dumb, but try it.

do a chmod +x <scriptname> and you will be all set

well chmod 777 is rwx for everybody so if it has been already tried the source of the problem is somewhere else...

oops right you are. That's what I get for doing this so early in the morning

I stand corrected.

I heard this scripts are not shell scripts. Are they designed for a program of which is running on Linux?
