Hide a script ?
Hi all,

i have a perl script for my users to run. My sys admin created an account for the users to log in and execute the script. They just type "perl myscript.pl" at the unix prompt to run it. Is there any way that i can hide my script? ,ie, do not allow my users to view the script. either using vi, 'cat','more'...etc?

Code:
chmod 701 myscript.pl

You must be owner of the script and users must be in "others" group

you cannot execute a script unless read and execute permissions are available,
if its a binary just an execute permission would do,

you need to change the perm bits to 705

Hi , thanks for the replies.

my script is a perl script, not a binary code.

An alternative i can think of is to run a shell script to trigger the perl script the moment the user logs in. Any one knows how to do it?

B::C lets you create and compile C source into an executable from .pl files.
