Executing idebug in AIX
There is an interactive debugger on our AIX box. According to the IBM provided doc, if you type the command

IDEBUG

The debugger will start. When I do this I get

ksh: idebug: 0403-006 Execute permission denied

How can I tell what the permissions on that commmand are??

I have located the software directories for idebug and have modifiied them so the permissions should not be an issue. Should I be looking somewhere else?

Thanks in advance

Where is the file? If AIX has whereis, you can do 'whereis idebug' to find it. Once that's done,'ls -l /path/to/idebug' to see what it's permissions are.

When I issue "whereis idebug"

I get:

idebug:

That's it. I did actually find it's directory my manually navigating, but I'm curious if anyone knows what the 'idebug:' means.

Code:
find / -name "idebug" -print

if ur not root, then u will probably get a bunch of permission denied msgs.
this seems kind of weird, when u execute idebug, you dont need to provide the full path (do you?) which means that its in your $PATH. the whereis command searches only directories in your $PATH. so... idebug *should* show up with it. post your .profile.
