Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Is there a way to restrict a user (owner) to execute scripts from a specific directory Post 303040205 by Neo on Thursday 24th of October 2019 11:42:52 PM

Perhaps too easy of a solution.

If you do not need to execute any scripts in "global/work/ on Server 1, you can change the permissions and remove the "x" (execute) permission using chmod.

Keep in mind that this script is not executable:

Code:
ls -l test.sh
-rw-r--r--  1  owner  wheel  0 Oct 25 10:41 test.sh

this script is executable by anyone:

Code:
chmod 755 test.sh
ls -l test.sh
-rwxr-xr-x  1 owner   wheel  0 Oct 25 10:41 test.sh

Hope this quick reply is helpful or useful.

NAME
chmod - change mode SYNOPSIS
chmod mode file ... DESCRIPTION
The mode of each named file is changed according to mode, which may be an octal number or a symbolic change to the existing mode. A mode is an octal number constructed from the OR of the following modes. 0400 read by owner 0200 write by owner 0100 execute (search in directory) by owner 0070 read, write, execute (search) by group 0007 read, write, execute (search) by others A symbolic mode has the form: [who] op permission The who part is a combination of the letters u (for user's permissions), g (group) and o (other). The letter a stands for ugo. If who is omitted, the default is a. Op can be + to add permission to the file's mode, - to take away permission, and = to assign permission absolutely (all other bits will be reset). Permission is any combination of the letters r (read), w (write), x (execute), a (append only), and l (exclusive access). Only the owner of a file or the group leader of its group may change the file's mode. SOURCE
