Why Should I Always Use Chmod When Not As A Root User

System Info:

I have normal user in CentOS 7 whose name is "mostafa" (the name of the account).

I naturally have another user called root with all privileges. User "mostafa" is put into sudoers file, too.

The OS is installed in VmWare, so the system is all mine.

Problem:

Now I create a file with touch file.sh and put a command in it, but when I want to run it with Code:
sudo ./file.sh

, an error is shown that the command Code:
./file.sh

does not exist. But if I Code:
 sudo chmod 777 ./file.sh

then it gets run. My question is that, why should I use Code:
chmod 777

when I myself have created the file, and I am in sudoers.

Can anyone explain me why shuold I still use Code:
sudo chmod 777

when the creator of the file is me.

Problem With (instalation Of?) Mysql.h On C

Hi, I've just recently installed MySQL connector/c from source code on my Slackware 14.1 x64

I read the official instructions of the connector but I felt a bit disorientated when I read:
Code:
1 -Change location to the top-level directory of the source distribution.

I interpreted that I have to go to the "highest" directory Code:
/

So I wrote: Code:
 
        #                            cd /

root@- /#                            tar xzvf /home/normal/Downloads/mysql-connector-c-6.1.6-src.tar.gz 

root@- /#                            cd /mysql-connector-c-6.1.6-src/

root@- /mysql-connector-c-6.1.6-src# cmake -G "Unix Makefiles"

root@- /mysql-connector-c-6.1.6-src# make 

root@- /mysql-connector-c-6.1.6-src# make install

Then I did:
Code:
ln -s /usr/local/mysql-5.6.25/include /usr/include

But when I try to compile a program in c with #include <mysql.h> i get this error:
Code:
# gcc ctemp.c 
In file included from ctemp.c:2:0:
/usr/include/mysql.h:57:27: fatal error: mysql_version.h: No such file or directory
 #include "mysql_version.h"
                           ^

What can I do? Thanks a lot and sorry for poor english

PD: If you need the official instructions I paste here the link: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-...on-source.html

Stdout, Stderr And Redirection -- What Is The Correct Order Or Format ?

Hi all,

Been reading on stdin, stdout and stderr and encounter 2 questions, hope gurus here can advise.

0 = stdin
1 = stdout
2 = stderr

Code:
Sun Dec 21 03:53:42 SGT 2014 > cat test5.sh
#!/bin/bash

echo "Please enter value for name :"
read name
echo "Your name is $name."

echo "Next echo will be a syntax error"
ehco

Code:
Sun Dec 21 03:53:46 SGT 2014 > test5.sh 1> output.txt 2> error.txt
Noob

Sun Dec 21 03:54:56 SGT 2014 > cat output.txt
Please enter value for name :
Your name is Noob.
Next echo will be a syntax error

Sun Dec 21 03:55:23 SGT 2014 > cat error.txt
/home/alan/scripts/test5.sh: line 8: ehco: command not found
Sun Dec 21 03:55:26 SGT 2014 >

Which so far all is good and the correct way to output everything including error to a single file is

Code:
Sun Dec 21 03:59:14 SGT 2014 > test5.sh > output.txt 2>&1


Q1) How is a command being interpreted in linux , the sequence in which it is interpreted ? from left to right ? right to left ?

Shouldn't it be

Code:
test5.sh 2>&1 1>output.txt 
or 
test5.sh 2>&1>output.txt ?

Regards,
Noob

How To Use Static Libraries? Please Help Lol

https://code.google.com/p/wavelet1d/...ar.gz&can=2&q=

The above link is where I downloaded *.cpp(s) and the libraries.

If you "untar" the package, in "examples" directory, there are some demonstration files. What I wanted to do was to make an executable file out of "wavedemo1.cpp".

I modified the code in "wavedemo1.cpp"; Code:
#include "wavelet2d.h"

to Code:
#include "wavelet2s.h"

, then placed the header file "wavelet2s.h" (from /wavelib/src/linuxstatic) and the modified "wavedemo1.cpp" into my working directory.

Inside the working directory, I ran the following command

Code:
gcc -L/home/mario/wavelet/wavelib/linuxstatic -lwavelet2s wavedemo1.cpp -o wavedemo1

Then I get the following error messages.

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /home/mario/wavelet/wavelib/linuxstatic/libwavelet2s.a when searching for -lwavelet2s
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwavelet2s
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I'm not sure what went wrong with my approach. This is my first time trying to use libraries on linux and it's giving me really tough times.

I would appreciate your help, please let me know if you need more details to explain things.

Thanks.

It gives me following error.

Calculation Using Variable Inside Variable

I have some variables which have stored numerical values like
Quote:
A1=10 A2=20 A3=25
B1=10 B2=15 B3=12 and so on
As well as another set of variables which stored these variables like
Quote:
var1=A1 var2=A2 var3=A3
var4=B1 var5=B2 var6=B3 and so on
I have to calculated things using second set of variable.
In the script, there is line
Code:
read number

user will enter number manually, suppose 500
I have to calculate using
Code:
expr 500 \* ${$var1} / 100

and output of this multiplied by
Code:
expr $above_output \* ${$var2} /100

and output of this multiplied by
Code:
expr $above_output \* ${$var3} /100

But not able to deal with two levels of variable. The calculation will be hard when it comes for three level and four level.

Please help.

Basic Bash Script

Code:
PREFIX=192.168.1
OCTET=1
while [ $OCTET -lt "255" ]; do
    echo -en "Pinging ${PREFIX}.${OCTET}..."
    ping -c1 -w1 ${PREFIX}.${OCTET} > /dev/null 2>&1
    if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]; then
       echo "OK"
    else
       echo "Failed"
    fi
    let OCTET=$OCTET+1
done

My question is, in the penultimate line, why is it OCTET, and not $OCTET, with a dollar before it, meaning, the variable?

What if it were written:
Code:
let $OCTET=$OCTET+1

Like in C++ (I think) or Python or whatever?
