232How do I make a shell file executable?
The command described below needs to be entered while logged in to the Unix server. Normally you'll see a prompt ending with $ when the command interpreter (or shell) is ready for another command.
Type:
chmod u+x filename
(replace filename with the name of the shell file)
The file must of course contain executable code or statements.
