Addition/Correction to the above post:

You would not be able to run the shell script. However you can encrypt the contents.

Hi Shary,

You can use the "crypt" command to encrypt your file....Pl go thorugh the man pages for its syntax. None wud be able to view the file...Hence ur first condition is satisfied...
Command: For encryption

% compress myfile
% ls -l myfile.Z
% dd if=myfile.Z of=myfile.Z.strip bs=3 skip=1
% crypt akey < myfile.Z.strip

For Decryption:
% (compress -cf /dev/null;crypt < myfile.Z.strip) | uncompress -c > myfile

Pl check the above code snippet...U ll be able to encrypt and decrypt ur file...

About ur next condition,I am sorry to say that you wont be able to run the encrypted script...You ll ve to first decrypt it before using it...
