Making an executable script file

[Antonis]

Hye,

can you please tell me how to make an executable file in linux?

Thanks

Do you already have the script saved? If so, chmod 777 filename to make it executable. Replace filename with the filename of the script.

I tried this one but then I try to run the script by typing ./filename but I get the following error

bash: ./unpacktars: No such file or directory

Try a 'ls -al' in the directory that the script resides in. Check that the permissions are rwxrwxrwx (will be after chmod 777) and the filename is correct remembering case sensitive.

If everything is correct, then ./filename should work.

You are right the permissions are -rwxrwxrwx

The file is also shown on green letter and with the * next to it.

But I still cannot run the script file. I also called some of my friends but they dont know either.

Anyway thanks for you help I really appreciate it.
