How to automatically create executable files

skiabox · 10-26-2011, 01:35 PM

Every time I create a perl script using pico editor I have to enter chmod +x filename every time after file creation.
Is there a more easy way to do that?
Thank you.

I would create a Bash script to do it.

Use the 'touch' command to create the file, the 'chmod' command to make it executable, and then call the pico editor.

This is a security feature. For safety reasons, you don't want every file you create to be executable by default.

You modify your default permissions buy modifying your Umask. (don't do this unless you *really* know what you're doing).
