how to create a file and make it executable in one command?
I am tired of creating a file with nano, saving it and then making it executable. Is there a command that makes it in one step?
You're viewing a single thread.
You want the install command.
At least, I think this will do it. I haven’t used it in a while.
touch file && chmod +x fileis good but this here is the one true command for the purpose.@kureta That's two commands though.
that's what I was trying to say.
install -m755 /dev/null targetwas the first thing I thought of. I would never use this but it is a single command.Why would you never use it?
I'm going to write (at least part of) the script first anyway, and then I can just use chmod +x after the file is saved which is shorter.
