Hi Again
I installed SHC and was successfully able to encrypt the scripts and I executed the script as well, but I noticed sometimes the scirpts gets in to hung status and even ctrl+c,d,z doest not work. I have to forcibly logout of the session.

Can you tell me why its happening??

An alternative approach would be to use Sudo to execute your script (Sudo can su to accounts other than root)...

Thanks in Advance Smilie
this problem should be tackled at a higher level.
will your script be run by anybody or only for authorized personal ? and what does your script do, if you don't mind.

then set your environment for proper access. Only authorized personal will be running the script and nobody else.
