i am user root yes.. would that be the reason? sorry-- noob on unix. but why then we have to chmod every script to run it?

also .. the dir has no write permissions ..does root user overwrite this?

i have ran the trace.. shows the following.


Code:
[root@localhost no_write_perm]# sh directorycheck.sh 
sh directorycheck.sh 
+ sh directorycheck.sh
 please enter the dir path
/var/tmp/no_write_perm
 File hello.out is created
echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/#$HOME/~}"; echo -ne "\007"
++ echo -ne '\033]0;root@localhost:/var/tmp/no_write_perm'
[root@localhost no_write_perm]#

mkcomposecache

MKCOMPOSECACHE(1)                                             General Commands Manual                                            MKCOMPOSECACHE(1)

NAME

       mkcomposecache - create a cache file for a compose file explicitely

SYNOPSIS

       mkcomposecache locale compose-file cache-dir [ internal-name ]

DESCRIPTION

       mkcomposecache  creates  a  cache file for the specified compose-file used in the given locale and saves it in cache-dir.  If internal-name
       has been spezified, it is used as the name of the compose table for computing the hash values and internal validation. This is necessary if
       global compose cache files shall be created while using DESTDIR during X11 installation.

       Notes:

       - compose  cache  files  are  created  by  libX11, thus an Xserver has to be running and DISPLAY has to be set correctly for creating cache
         files.

       - libX11 will not write compose cache files if run as root or with different real and effective uids.

       - libX11 will not create compose cache files in directories writable for other users.

DIAGNOSTICS

       mkcomposecache returns with exit status 1 on general errors (no Xserver, invoked as root, etc.) and 2 on unsupported locales.

       An exit status of 0 does not imply that a cache file is actually written, though.  This very much depends on the used libX11 and its safety
       regulations.

EXAMPLES

       mkcomposecache     en_US.UTF-8    /var/tmp/buildroot/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose    /var/tmp/buildroot/var/X11R6/compose_cache
       /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose

FILES

       /var/X11R6/compose_cache Location of global compose cache.
