I want to edit a shell shript file which name is mydate. But How can
I run this shell shript file. Someone told me to use "chomd +x mydate",
but what meaning it is and where I should use!
Did you try "man chmod"? The explanation is there.
By running "chomd +x mydate" you are adding execute permission for everybody
to the file called "mydate". Execute permission on a file means you can run it
as a program.
