Remove noexec from tmp directory

How do I remove the noexec from the tmp directory, temporarily?

To set the noexec

Code:

mount -o remount,noexec /tmp

to set it back

Code:

mount -o remount,exec /tmp

Assuming that you have a separate tmp partition (how else would it be mounted noexec), this ought to work: "mount -o remount,exec /tmp". To reenable noexec, use the same command with, well..., noexec.

Thanks,

This worked only I had to do the commands in reverse order.
