Hi,
I want to edit a shell shript file which name is mydate. But How can
I run this shell shript file. Someone told me to use "chomd +x mydate",
but what meaning it is and where I should use!
chmod +x mydate makes the script mydate executable. If you want to
run the script as root you can do it via ./mydate if you are in the
same directory or via full pathname like /path/to/mydate
If your script doesn't contain a she-bang (eg. #!/bin/sh in the first
line) you have to call it
/bin/sh mydate
or
/bin/sh /path/to/mydate
You'll get the complete explanation of chmod via
man chmod
Thanks a lot!
