Re: How to circumvent read-only permission

> Let me be sure that I understand the full implications of this.

Therebs nothing extraordinary about this. On a Mac or Unix system, run
these commands:

$ echo 'echo "hello world"' > myscript.sh
$ chmod 400 myscript.sh
$ ls -l myscript.sh
-r-------- 1 ndw staff 19 Apr 10 15:08 myscript.sh

Now you have bmyscript.shb that is a read-only file that bcannotb be
executed:

Next run:

$ sh myscript.sh
hello world

Boom!

Telling the filesystem that a file is not executable means you canbt use
it as a command from the shell. You can still send it to any interpreter
you like. You can run it as perl script, if you like:

$ perl myscript.sh
String found where operator expected at myscript.sh line 1, near "echo "hello
world""
        (Do you need to predeclare echo?)
syntax error at myscript.sh line 1, near "echo "hello world""
Execution of myscript.sh aborted due to compilation errors.

It just doesnbt work very well!

XSLT processors are command interpreters just like bash, or perl, or
python. Caveat executor.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
