Subject: BUG: exec permission denied
Date: Tue, 2 Jul 1991 16:41:59 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9107022142.AA10652@saul.cis.upenn.edu> (raw)


It seems that if I try to execute a command `foo' for which I don't have
execute permission, rc gives me `foo not found', which is justifiable if
rc had to do a path search to find `foo', but not justifiable if `foo'
specified a path.  That is:

	; echo $path
	/usr/etc
	; ls -l /usr/etc/shutdown 
	-rws------  1 root        24576 Mar  6  1990 /usr/etc/shutdown
	; shutdown
	shutdown not found

makes sense (although you could argue against it), but

	; /usr/etc/shutdown
	/usr/etc/shutdown not found

is incorrect.

  The night is pleasing to us because, like memory, it erases idle details.
