Software :: Execute .sh In GUI Without Chmod +x
May 7, 2009
I'll have to provide some background info so you know what's going on. I'm setting up a preconfigured .conf for Viscosity (OpenVPN). What my sh script does is copies all the pertinent files to the correct folders and runs sed to customize it for the particular user. Normally you'd just chmod +x it to make it executable..in this situation EVERYTHING needs to be rolled up into one click as this will be distributed to 'uninformed' users and needs to be foolproof. I've tried "sh->app" rollers such as platypus and they suck and only run half of my script at best. So experts, I Ask, how does one make a self-contained, executable .sh script that can be distributed and executed on multiple computers without ANY user intervention beyond "download this and double click it"

Sorry, really not a computer buff. Only learn what I need. However, I'm trying to install a program on my linux host and it says that I need to CHMOD a document to 777 in order to have it work. If I can CHMOD on OS X how to do that?

I just meant to do one folder, but I accidentally did it all, including Library. Is it okay to have Library as 777 or should it be something like 755?

I am trying to add a PATH input so that I don't have to keep using ./ for commands that aren't system-native. The problem is that bash doesn't seem to be executing any of the .profile commands.

When I create a new file, for example a text file that contains several commands, the new file is automatically only given read and write permissions. I would like the execute permission to also be automatically assigned. How I can change this.

All of my accounting for the past 10 years are in Quick Books 6.0. I have to transfer everything to Quick Books 2009. I backed Quick Books 6.0 onto a jump drive. I have upgraded my old computer with OS 9.2.2 to a imac with OS 10.5.6. When I attempt to transfer the data from my jump drive, I receive the following message:
Backup: cannot execute binary file
It also says under "kind": unix executable file
I called Intuit and they could not help, they said it was a Mac problem. I called Mac, they said it was an Intuit problem.

Recently the root of my boot drive had its owner changed to "staff" causing my system boot times to be around 2 min long instead of 30 seconds. I fixed that by going into Terminal and typing "sudo chown root:admin /". Everything is back to normal, except the permissions on the root are now drwxrwxr-x instead of drwxrwxr-t. ("Can't create kext cache under / - owner not root" - was the warning incase someone comes across this and wants to know how to fix it.) I'm just wondering what the proper chmod syntax is to change the execute/search bit back to the sticky bit, As I'm afraid to type something wrong. =) And what would be the proper way to clear out all my log files?(Clear, not delete).

So the code is: chmod -R 777 / I was following 'instructions' from this random thread I found trying to fix my g/f's macbook running 10.5.8 - it just sits at the blue screen at start up. thread: [URL] I followed the instructions in post #8. Is that a legit fix or is that guy messing with people and I screwed up her computer? Anyway it didn't work - still a blue screen - guess I'll just tell her to go see a genius.
