[SOLVED] PuTTY Command Sender changing +x to X

Predatorian · 03-20-2013, 12:03 PM

Hello all,

Am using PuTTY command sender to send a script that downloads files from a http share and is supposed to chmod one of hte files with a "+x" attribute, but when I do that, it changes the "+x to "X" and then returns and error. BUT when I send the commands normally through PuTTYCS not in a script the command works, otherwise i have to paste it into each terminal session.

Am I saving the files wrong, with the wrong encoding? I have it set to save the file as a UNIX file instead of a DOS/Windows File, and also set to ANSI encoding.

I am trying to run these commands on a RHEL 5.3 system. I am running PuTTY Command Sender 1.81 and Windows 7.

The code being ran by the PuTTY Command Sender script:

Code:

chmod +x /tmp/linux-zabbix-agent/zabbix_linux_install.sh 
/tmp/linux-zabbix-agent/zabbix_linux_install.sh  
ps -e | grep zabbix

Error output:

Code:

chmod X /tmp/linux-zabbix-agent/zabbix_linux_install.sh
chmod: invalid mode: `X'
Try `chmod --help' for more information.

Look at PuttyCS Script SendKeys Syntax "+" means press a SHIFT key, so for "+x" in script you get capital "X". You need to change all "+" occurrences to "{PLUS}" tags.

Once I get back to my office I will try this out. You're probably right, but still got to test it.
