Try 755 instead.

Why would this work? If owner (root in this case) has execute perm, then why does the group bit matter?

I tried creating a script with 700 perm and was able to execute it.

Auto-mounting of file systems under /media typically includes the "noexec" option. Try

Code:

mount -o remount,exec /media/disk

Since it's a script, you can also run it by invoking the shell directly:

Code:

sh ./on

For that case, only read permission is needed.

try moving the script to your home directory.
i never have figured out why but scripts won't
run from a disk like that.
