Shell Programming and Scripting

file filename

Within shell you can test whether a file is executable.

if [ -x "${filename}" ]
then
      echo "This file is executable : ${filename}"
fi

Using "find" you can find all the files which are executable. For example.

find . -type f \( -perm -000100 -o -perm -000010 -o -perm -000001 \) -exec ls -ald {} \;

if test -x filename
then
echo Executable.
else
echo Not executable.
fi

if test -x filename
then
echo Executable.
else
echo Not executable.
fi
