Day 4 Linux Basics

Hi,
Even though the executable permissions are given to the script in /tmp/xfusioncorp.sh the lab validation says failed, I have cross checked and executed the script it works, see

results attached.

In order to execute a script on.a Linux system, besides being executable, the script also must be readable as well. This is why you’re getting that error

See this analogy as to why this is the case:

Problem with bash script

It does. You cannot execute that which you cannot read first. Look at it this way. You are in a kitchen which is where you execute a recipe - so you have execute rights by being allowed into in the kitchen. But unless you have first read the recipe, how do you execute it? If the recipe book is in a locked cupboard then your read right is to have the key to the cupboard. A computer program is a recipe. The filesystem is the recipe book. The CPU is the chef.
