Question

you are linux help disk technician and just got a phone call from chris baxter, a new employee, who is having trouble running shell scripts.he tells you he has replaced the previous employee aaron cole,but he can't run any of aaron scripts. you check Chris user account and discover he's a memeber of the division group. after using the ls -1 command in the script directory you see the following information

ls -1

-rwxr--r--1 cole division 0 2009 - 02 -10 04:59 bank

-rwxr--r--1 cole division 0 2010 - 01 -04 04:59 database

-rwxr--r--1 cole division 0 2010 - 09 - 17 04:59 project

-rwxr--r--1 cole division 0 2011 - 07 - 23 04:59 school

why can't chris run the scripts listed in this output? what command should you use to give chris the permission needed to run them.

Explanation / Answer

Chris can't tun these files because Chris is not the owner of these files . and Chris is also not in the group of accesibility.

-rwxr--r--1 cole division 0 2009 - 02 -10 04:59 bank

-rwxr--r--1 -> this the mode

cole -> this is the owner

divisio -> this is the group

0 -> file size

2009 - 02 -10 04:59 -> last modified time

bank -> filename

Now he can access or run them by using chmod command.

chmod u+rwx bank

Here u denoted user and r to have the permission read , w to write and x to execute the file named bank .

in same way he should use

chmod u+rwx database

chmod u+rwx project

chmod u+rwx school
