rc.local permission

[plasmid]

I don't think that my rc.local script is running. The Aurora screen says"/etc/rc.d/rc: /etc/rc3.d/S99local: permission denied"

the permission is set right now to read and write for root, read for all others. I have never messed with the permissions that I know of. My harddrive tweaks which I put here are not running and it make my system so much slower.

let me know how this should be set

Make it executable too.

You don't have permission to RUN the script.

RUN is a synonym of EXECUTE.

EXECUTE is one of the three permission types in the UNIX security model.

This should answer your question.

thanks, its all taken care of. any idea how this was modified? It was working fine the other day.

Did you possibly copy over the file with a new version? If you just make changes to a file in an editor, the permissions shouldn't change, but if you copy it somewhere and fiddle with it and then copy it back, anything can happen to the permissions. That's the only thing I could think of, if you're sure it was working before and you didn't change the permission on purpose. Are any of your other init scripts -x?

[plasmid]

all of the other scripts are executable. I have no idea how this could have changed.
