@Ravinder: 711 does not make sense for a script.
Hi Geman Boy,

It is the first time i will be deploying a script in production so need yor help.
I have to mention the steps in Deployment Document
the script would be scheduled in the crontab.
The admin will log in to the unix environment give necessary permission and schedule it in crontab.
My script creates 3 temporary files and remove them at them end.
Can you suggest me the best permission mode for this?

Normally you create files with the default permissions.
This is also true for temporary files.
You can ensure a certain default permissions by setting the umask before (e.g. at the top of the script)
Code:
umask 022

typical umask are
077 create files with 600 (and directories with 700), restricted for group and others
066 create files with 600 (and directories with 711), only directories access-able but not browse-able for group and others
026 create files with 640 (and directories with 750), readable for file's group
022 create files with 644 (and directories with 755), readable for others
NB1: the umask bits are complementary to the file permission bits.
NB2: files are always created non-executable. This is why on newly created scripts you have to set the x-bit(s) manually.
