I have a ~/bin directory with a bunch of scripts in it. Recently, I have noticed that scripts that have been executable for months are having their x permissions removed. The only thing I've written that would be even looking at (and as far as I know not touching) those files is my backup script, which does a a: tar cf - --one-file-system $FS 2>/dev/null | tar xvf - 2>&1 >>/backup/backup .log The problem seems to be limited to scripts which do not have a .sh extension on them. Is anyone else seeing this? Is there an easy (easier than putting a .sh extension on a bunch of scripts that call each other in ways I probably don't remember exactly) fix? -- Laura (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] , http://www.world.std.com/~lconrad/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (801) 365-6574 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139
