Execute Permission through Terminal for a file stored on /Media/DISK-1

Asked by Abhijit P. Bongale

Recently I have started to learn Shell_Scripting under UBUNTU. Where I am facing a problem while executing permission to a file which is stored on /media/6A60F69B60F66D67. When I give command like,

abhijit@ubuntu:/media/6A60F69B60F66D67/Programs/Shell_Scripting$ chmod 755 first
abhijit@ubuntu:/media/6A60F69B60F66D67/Programs/Shell_Scripting$ ./first
bash: ./first: Permission denied
abhijit@ubuntu:/media/6A60F69B60F66D67/Programs/Shell_Scripting$

-system does not show any error massage, but while executing program system show me 'Permission Denied' error.
Please look into this as soon as possible.

Regards,
Abhijit.

The output of mount does not show /media/6A60F69B60F66D67, suggesting that you ran the command when that volume was not mounted. You must mount the volume in order for the mount command to show how it is being mounted.

However, it seems likely that it is either being mounted in such a way that you cannot change the execute bit on files (or it's a filesystem that doesn't have an execute bit and the permissions assigned have it disabled, which comes down to the same thing), or it is mounted so that programs are not permitted to be executed from it. Either way, if the program you are trying to run is a script, you can get around the problem by invoking the scripting engine itself, with the name of the program as the argument. So if the program is a shell script, you would invoke the appropriate shell.

If you wrote it yourself, then you probably know what shell to use. If the shell is sh, you can run:

sh first

If the shell is bash, you can run:

bash first

And so forth.

If for some reason you do not know what shell the script uses (or whether or not it is a shell script...or even any kind of script at all), you can find out by using the file utility:

file first

I am using the bash shell, so after running the script with 'bash <script name>' the problem solved.
Thanks.

Hi,

The file is stored on hard disk drive and it has NTFS (MS-Windows) file system.

Regards,
Abhijit.

Then the file system needs marking all as executable when it is mounted as NTFS cannot hold complex Linux file permissions.
