Day 8: Grant Executable Permissions to a Script

Task

In a bid to automate backup processes, the xFusionCorp Industries sysadmin team has developed a new bash script named xfusioncorp.sh. While the script has been distributed to all necessary servers, it lacks executable permissions on App Server 2 within the Stratos Datacenter.

Specifications:

  • Grant executable permissions to the /tmp/xfusioncorp.sh script on App Server 2.
  • Ensure that all users have the capability to execute it

Steps:

  1. Log in to App Server 2: 
    ssh your_username@app_server_2_ip
  2. Grant Read and Execute Permissions: 
    sudo chmod 755 /tmp/xfusioncorp.sh
  3. Verify the Permissions: 
    ls -l /tmp/xfusioncorp.sh

You should see:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 40 Aug  4 05:43 /tmp/xfusioncorp.sh
  4. Command Explanation: 
    ssh your_username@app_server_2_ip: Log in to App Server 2 using your username.
sudo chmod 755 /tmp/xfusioncorp.sh: Grant read and execute permissions to the script for all users.
- sudo: Execute the command with superuser privileges.
- chmod: Change the file mode bits.
- 755: Set the permissions to `rwxr-xr-x`.
- /tmp/xfusioncorp.sh: The path to the script.
ls -l /tmp/xfusioncorp.sh: Verify the permissions of the script.
