Answers: linux - permission denied in running script

MortezaLSC

I am running a script but there is an unusual warning: This is what happened in my console

#whoami
root
#ls -l test.sh
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1894 Feb  2 01:58 test.sh
#./test.sh
-bash: ./test.sh: Permission denied

Edit: my script:

#!/bin/bash
while read pass port user ip file; do
  echo "startt------------------------------------" $ip
  ping $ip -c 4
  if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    echo $ip ok...
  else
    echo $ip failed...
  fi
  echo "finish------------------------------------" $ip
done <<____HERE
pass  22  root  1.1.1.1  test.txt
____HERE

any idea? thank you

I notice that there's a . after the permissions, which indicates that an SELinux security context applies to that file. That's probably what's preventing you from running the script. Are you in a directory where it might be a bad idea for executables to reside?

linux - running "crontab -e " permission denied?

linux bash cron

Questioner

/usr/bin/editor: line 40: /tmp/crontab.BTXqyZ/crontab: Permission denied
/usr/bin/editor: line 40: exec: /tmp/crontab.BTXqyZ/crontab: cannot execute: Success
crontab: "/usr/bin/editor" exited with status 126

crontab -e was working fine a few months ago. a cron job i set up few month ago is still running successfully.

i wanted to create a new cronjob for another program and i got the above error....

/usr/bin/editor is apparently a script, that on line 40 fails to start the actual editor, apparently trying to execute the crontab file to edit, perhaps because the path to the editor is supposed to be supplied (in an environment variable?) and isn't.

Just guessing. Have a look at that script and Google on /usr/bin/editor.

probably that's just a permission issue of /tmp: have you already checked it with ls -la?

May be /tmp access mode is wrong. Check it with ls -dla /tmp

Right mode for tmp is 1777 (drwxrwxrwt)

$ ls -dla /tmp drwxrwxrwt 7 root root 4096 Jan 12 00:00 /tmp

Correct it with sudo chmod 1777 /tmp. 1 is sticky bit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_bit and 7 is read-write-execute for user, group, world
