If you want to give all permission to the user only (including read, write and execute), you could chmod 0700 the script and make sure you chown and chgrp the file (script) ownership to the user you want to give it out to.

Hello,

Please use code tags for posting commands. Please use the following command to give permissions to user for script and not to others.
But you can take a test in QA onced before putting in PR please.


Code:
-rwx--x--x    1 singh1 users           548 Aug 09 10:42 date_solution.ksh
$ chmod 711 date_solution.ksh

$ ls -ltr | grep "date_solution.ksh"
-rwx--x--x    1 singh1 users           548 Aug 09 10:42 date_solution.ksh
$


Just an example for a file is given above.




Thanks,
R. Singh

Typical permissions are
700 read/execute/write permission for the file's owner, ls -l shows rwx------
750 ... plus read/execute for the file's group, ls -l shows rwxr-x---
755 ... plus read/execute for others, ls -l shows rwxr-xr-x

@Ravinder: 711 does not make sense for a script.

Hello MadeInGermany,

I just wanted to give execute permissions to others. Please correct me if I am wrong here, I will be grateful to you.

You don't need execute permission to be able to execute a script, but you certainly can't execute it if you can't read it.

Thanks Scott and MadeInGermany for explaining me the same.
