Hi

I'm interested to know why is it that I can't run a specific *.ksh file, is it due to permission settings? If it is, how can I work around that? I'm not logging on as the administrator, do I need to be an administrator to run *.ksh files?

The extension is irrelevant when it comes to what files you can run - unless you have something specifically written in your system - which is not likely.

Can you show me what the file permissions look like...and how it is you are trying to run the file.

i.e do an "ls -l" for the file and then from the directory it's in type => ./filename

Type ls -l for looking at the permissions for the file..


The file's permission looks something like this..

-rwxr-xr-x

r - read
w - write
x - execute

The first three is for the owner and the second is for the group and the third for the others.

U can change the file permissions using chmod

Is this what u wanted to know??

-Nisha

well you might be able to change the permissions....depending on what they are...if you don't have the appropriate access you can't change the permissions....!!

Thanks guys for all the help you've provided me, I guess I'll have to check with my admin to see if I have the rights...

Also, if you are calling a binary from a directory you don't have access to, you will get errors as well. So make sure you have permission to run any binaries that may be in your script.
