Running Scripts in Linux

Scripts in Linux need proper permissions and execution settings to run correctly. Here's how to run scripts in Linux:

• Navigate to the scripts directory.
• Add execute permissions to the script using: chmod +x script_name.sh.
• Run the script using: ./script_name.sh.

Additional Tips

1. Using chmod

   • chmod +x adds execution permission
   • chmod 755 sets read, write, execute for owner and read, execute for others

2. Alternative Run Methods

   • Using bash directly: bash script_name.sh
   • Using sh: sh script_name.sh

3. Best Practices

   • Always verify script contents before executing
   • Use appropriate shebang line (#!/bin/bash)
   • Test scripts in a safe environment first
