I have a Shell Script (wrapper) that gathers parameters and invoke a base script (lets say B1). I have set the permission for this script as 711 (execute for everyone, group). When a user from another group try to execute the script, permission is denied (Cannot open file..)

Is there any known problem in unix? I am puzzled. (beginner)

-rwx--x--x 1 u93359 studnts 810 Jun 4 15:27 mc1288prod

Unless I give Read access to the "others" they are not able to execute.

Thanks & appreciate your help.

if a user dosnt have read permission, they wont be able to execute the file either, even if they do have execute permissions. they have to be able to read it to execute it.

add those users to the group, or make the file readable by "others".
