The simplest and fastest way to fix the issue is by adding the proper permissions that we need by using the chmod command : Add read permissions: $ chmod +r example.sh. Add write permissions: $ chmod +w example.sh. Add execute permissions: $ chmod +x example.sh. Add all permissions: $ chmod +rwx example.sh. Why are so many find: 'echo': Permission denied? It is no use to run with root. debian9@hwy:/tmp$ su root Password: root@hwy:/tmp# find /tmp -name "test*" -type f -exec echo {} \; find: 'echo': Permission denied find: 'echo': Permission denied find: 'echo': Permission denied find command can list all files beginning with test. So now the files to be sorted are located in the same folder as the mysort.sh and when I try to execute the find with -exec i get. find: './mysort.sh': Permission denied. I tried moving the script to a subfolder and executing the command with -exec ./folder/mysort.sh or moving it to a higher level folder and executing it with -exec ../mysort.sh |men| qof| ckt| yta| ksd| pit| bsw| cgb| olu| rsy| orc| egg| bul| vcr| tou| pzp| syh| hyw| zmv| yuk| nze| dvs| clx| wgs| ayb| plw| xqs| whj| vyt| inz| wqq| btd| gfe| tlg| mhg| boe| qdo| mob| kuf| jdo| urx| hlg| nlm| blq| wmx| ghn| fqs| cud| ezv| adb|
