Correct perms...

Perms should be 755 to make the script executable.... 655 will only set read/write for the owner and not execute.

Yeah, but now we're in the 20th century, why do people even use numeric perms in the first place? I can never remember what the octal bits mean, whereas something like 'u=rwx,go=rx' makes it all pretty clear.

Really? I've always found the numbers easier to remember myself. Read equals 4, write equals 2, and execute equals 1. A simple (for me, anyway) three-digit number seems more efficient and to the point. But then, it's always nice to have more than one way to do something.
