Re: Bash: permission denied - Script error

The command chmod is needed, but 777 is always a bad idea, that gives everyone in the system full access to do whatever they want to the file. Not good chmod +x will add execution to its existing privileges, much more desirable.

chmod +x <name_of_file>

For example, if you as root create a file that does something simple, which you shouldn't do anyway but a lot of people do, and make it chmod'ed 777, any user could edit the file, and run it with root privileges via sudo, very messy.
