You missed the type:
Code:
find /local/home/app/cases -iname '*\.sh' -type f -exec chmod -c 744 {} \;

Escaping the period is not really necessary, and if there is a lot of files, using xargs is more efficient -- it will run only one chmod call on many files. Using -0 will allow for filenames with white characters:
Code:
find /local/home/app/cases -iname "*.sh" -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod -c 744

NAME
xcal_cal - interface to calendar(1) for xcal SYNOPSIS
xcal_cal [ -d directory ] [ -f file ] [ -m ] [ -# ] DESCRIPTION
Xcal_cal reads through the files created by xcal(1) and creates a file suitable for use by calendar(1). By default, the files are found in a directory named ``Calendar'' in the user's home directory; an alternate directory may be specified with the -d flag. Output goes by default into a file named ``.xcal'' in the user's home directory; it may be overridden with the -f flag. In both cases, if the argument given begins with a slash (`/'), then it will be taken as a full path name, not as a path relative to the user's home direc- tory. If the argument begins with the two character sequence `./' then it will be taken relative to the current directory. This last form is primarily intended for use while debugging. The -m flag directs that multi-line entries in xcal files be collected in their entirety. By default, only the first line is copied. SEE ALSO
