Running an executable in a mounted partition

Recommended Posts

I am not able to run any executable file in a mounted partition(whether its a script or binary).

 

Can anyone explain why its not possible to run an exe in a mounted partition? Any solution for this problem?

 

Note:

I am able to run a script by

$ sh script-name

when I am giving, I get the following error

$ ./script-name (eventhough executable permission is set)

bash:./script-name: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

 

 

When I am running a binary,

$ ./a.out

bash: ./a.out: Permission denied

 

Regards,

Valluvan.

Ok the awnser is puzzling me, but it could be as simple as setting

execute permision as root.

 

You can do this by typing su chmod a+x yourFile.sh

 

try doing this:

$ echo > test.sh echo "Hello world"

 

$ ./test.sh

:bash ./test.sh: Permission denied // this is normal

 

// to execute the script test.sh you have to make the file executable

 

$ chmod a+x test.sh

$ ./test.sh

Hello world

 

If all this has helped you please read man page chmod.

$ man chmod.

Hi,

I have set the executable permission for the script using chmod, even though I am not able to execute it directly ie I have to give sh scriptname to run the script!
