It means that your file mydat is only a plain text base file, not executable (like in DOS *.exe file), to make it executable, you need to is the command "chmod +x filename", this is kind of basic use of linux command.

So it results in that problem that I can't find the correct information through "man". Anycases, thanks again!

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!
Thanks a lot!
Be careful of the misspelling -- the command you are looking for is
chmod +x mydate (not chomd)
Others have already talked about what chmod does and where to find more information about its use, but I just wanted to be sure you caught the spelling needed!
Good call, Clint. On all these commands, don't forget "man chmod", too.
I didn't realize that no "a" intimates an "a". I've been using "chmod a+x myfile" since the late 80's. Good to know.
there are lots of sources on Internet as well.
Hope this helps you a little.
