Just asking, isnt chmod 755 cscript just setting 'ownerships' of the file, as in, who may access/execute the file.
Rather than chmod +x cscript which would make it executeable.
Or am i mixing something?
The chmod utility does not set ownerships; it sets modes. Both of the above commands set the execute bits on for the file's owner, group, and for the world.
Furthermore, if the compilation was successful, the compiler will make a.out (or whatever output file was designated) executable. So, the chmod is unnecessary. (If the compilation was not successful, changing the mode won't make it execute successfully until you fix the source and rebuild it successfully.)
And, if there are other compilations that could be happening in parallel in the same directory (and to avoid an extra step, even if there aren't), it would be easier to replace:

I want to move and compress a big export file.
Like mv file_exp /filesystem/file_exp |compress
The file system is too small to compress and move with 2 steps.
What is the best command for me. I'm running solaris.

hello Folks,
once we compile any C code on Linux, we run the code using "./a.out"..
but can we have an executable for every program so that we can run the code directly without compiling the code every time.
just run the executable and get the output!
Thanks! (7 Replies)
I've seen the executable open in the application OmniOutliner, can I create an executable with this app? I'd like to be able to create the unix executable and insert it into terminal, but I'm not sure if the Omni app will allow me to create it.

Hi Friends,
I have a shell script which does some operations etc, would it be possible to create an executable file out from this shell script? meaning the executable file is not editable, thus the source code will not be visible to other users for copyright reasons.
Please help, thanks! (1 Reply)

BZEXE(1) General Commands Manual BZEXE(1)NAME
bzexe - compress executable files in place
SYNOPSIS
bzexe [ name ... ]
DESCRIPTION
The bzexe utility allows you to compress executables in place and have them automatically uncompress and execute when you run them (at a
penalty in performance). For example if you execute ``bzexe /bin/cat'' it will create the following two files:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 9644 Feb 11 11:16 /bin/cat
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 24576 Nov 23 13:21 /bin/cat~
/bin/cat~ is the original file and /bin/cat is the self-uncompressing executable file. You can remove /bin/cat~ once you are sure that
/bin/cat works properly.
This utility is most useful on systems with very small disks.
OPTIONS -d Decompress the given executables instead of compressing them.
SEE ALSO bzip2(1), znew(1), zmore(1), zcmp(1), zforce(1)CAVEATS
The compressed executable is a shell script. This may create some security holes. In particular, the compressed executable relies on the
PATH environment variable to find gzip and some other utilities (tail, chmod, ln, sleep).
BUGS
bzexe attempts to retain the original file attributes on the compressed executable, but you may have to fix them manually in some cases,
using chmod or chown.
