To run a shell script without changing the file access permission, you can use the bash
command followed by the -c
option and the name of the script file.
For example, if the script file is named script.sh
, you can run it using the following command:
bash -c script.sh
This will execute the script using the bash
shell, without requiring you to change the file access permissions.
Alternatively, you can use the sh
command to run the script. For example:
sh script.sh
This will run the script using the sh
shell, which is usually a symbolic link to the bash
shell.
It's important to note that the bash
and sh
commands will only work if the script file is written in a shell language that is supported by the bash
or sh
shells. For example, if the script file is written in the python
language, you will need to use the python
command to run it.
It's also worth noting that the bash
and sh
commands are just two of many different command interpreters that are available on a Linux system. Depending on the script file and the language it is written in, you may need to use a different command interpreter to run it.
For example, if the script file is written in the perl
language, you can run it using the perl
command:
perl script.pl
If the script file is written in the python
language, you can run it using the python
command:
python script.py
It's a good idea to include the shebang (#!
) line at the top of the script file to specify the command interpreter that should be used to run the script. This will allow you to run the script simply by specifying the script file on the command line, without needing to specify the command interpreter. For example:
./script.sh
