Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers How to make a .exe file executable in Linux? Post 303026187 by Scott on Wednesday 21st of November 2018 12:35:24 PM

Exactly which operating system did you download the file to?

A file having a .exe extension implies (but only implies) that it's a Windows file, not a Linux one. You won't be able to natively run that on a Linux system.

If you're on Linux, what does
Code:
file ukbmd5.exe

show you?

Where did "ukbmd5.enc" come from in all of this? Apart from the UK register for births, marriages and deaths, I really don't know what UKBMD is Smilie

Making any file "executable" on Linux is easy (e.g. with the chmod command), but that doesn't mean it can be executed.

NAME
gfreg - register a Gfarm file, Gfarm file fragments, or a Gfarm directory SYNOPSIS
gfreg [ -p ] [ -h filesystem-node | -H hostfile | -D domainname ] [ -a architecture ] program ... gfarm-URL gfreg [ -i ] [ -h filesystem-node | -H hostfile | -D domainname ] localfile ... gfarm-URL gfreg -N total-num-of-fragments -I fragment-index [ -h filesystem-node | -H hostfile | -D domainname ] localfile ... gfarm-URL gfreg -r [ -h filesystem-node | -H hostfile | -D domainname ] [ -a architecture ] [ directory | program | localfile ] ... gfarm-URL DESCRIPTION
The first form copies and registers the program as a Gfarm file gfarm-URL in the Gfarm filesystem. When gfarm-URL is a directory, multiple programs can be specified. After the registration, the gfarm-URL can be specified as a program name of gfrun(1) and gfmpirun_p4(1). With- out the -p option, only executable file can be specified. With the -p option, non-executable file can be specified as well. Without the -a option or the -h option, architecture of the program is assumed to be the same architecture as the client host on that gfreg(1) is exe- cuted, which is obtained by the Gfarm metaserver. The second form registers one or more localfiles as a single Gfarm file. Without the -i option, only non-executable file can be specified as localfile. With the -i option, both excutable and non-executable file can be specified as localfile. The destination filesystem node will be automatically selected by CPU load average. With any one of -h, -H, -D options, filesystem node can be limited. The third form registers localfile as a file fragment of a Gfarm file. The total number of fragments and the fragment index are specified by the -N option and the -I option, respectively. When gfarm-URL is a directory, multiple localfiles can be specified. The destination filesystemnode will be automatically decided by CPU load average unless any one of -h, -H, -D options is explicitly specified. When the gfreg command of this form is executed on a filesystem node, the local filesystem node is always selected rather than a remote filesys- temnode. In this case, -h, -H, -D options help to store files dispersively. The fourth form registers the directory as a Gfarm directory gfarm-URL, the program or the localfile as a Gfarm file gfarm-URL. If direc- tory have some sub directories and/or files, they will be registered recursively. The non-executable file localfile will be registered as a file has one fragment. A non-executable file in the directory will be registered in the same way. When gfarm-URL already exists as a directory, multiple directories, programs, and localfiles can be specified and they will be registered in gfarm-URL. They can be mixed in parameteres, while other forms inhibit this manner. If gfarm-URL does not exist, one directory or one program, or one localfile can be specified and it will be registered as gfarm-URL. Refer to the first form's part above to specify filesystem node thatprogfarms and files will reside with the -a option or the -h option. OPTIONS
-f overwrites gfarm-URL even if it exits as a Gfarm file. -? displays a list of command options. Gfarm 05 April 2006 GFREG(1)
