dot sh ( .sh) to convert to a executable file

[coaxfiber]

Is there anyone knows how to convert an existing script to a executable format (HEX form)?

file.sh > file.exe - something like this.

Thanks..

Hi
Give executable permission to the file,it will be executable

$chmod 755 file.sh

[coaxfiber]

I tried it. Is it same with chmod +x file.sh? So it becomes executable. What I mean is that when you will use , 'cat file.sh' or 'more file.sh' , the screen will give you as an ASCII characters instead of showing the source code.

Thanks again...

There is no way to convert a shell script to a binary executable. Perhaps if you explain what you actually want to do, we could help you out.

what you want to do is something like "obsfuscati ng/scrambling" your source so no one can see your code , right.
you can download shc and try it out. it "converts" your shell to stripped executable. remember to read shc.html from that site.

The first line in your shell script should be the #! followed by the shell it was written for:

#! /bin/bash
echo "Awesome!"

I do not know. Check the man page for the tool you are using.
