Executing a linux binary

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – Well I've run across a very weird thing today and I don't know if its something to do with my OS or Virtualization. I've been running game-server binaries and they've always worked. A simple ./binary +parameters does the job pretty well but today I wanted to copy all the stuff to a VPS I recently bought. It was same as before, Debian ( XEN ). So on the new VPS when I do ./binary without any permissions, it would say permission denied. Now this is pretty much logical because I have to do a "chmod a+x" on the file for that to work but even after its done, it says "File Missing" although it runs (HowTos)

Stories similar to Executing a linux binary

I've been using Linux for some time now and I've been searching for a complete overview of this but not found any.

I just don't come to terms with all the different ways of executing scripts and binaries - it's all a big mess for me and I have to use trial-and-error to determine what I should use.

Hi at all,

I'm trying to launch a binary file form shell in this way:

#/opt/some/binary/file/binaryfile

but shell answer:

#/opt/some/binary/file/binaryfile /opt/some/binary/file/binaryfile : no such file o directory

but the path is ok and the binary file is in that path.

I'm tried also:

chmod 777 -R /opt/

without success.

Where is my mistake?

heyall today i wrote a very basic program, compiled it with chmod u+X whichn worked fine but when i try to execute the file i get "cannot execute binary file" error message if anyone know why or how i can fix it please let me know (im sure by the very nature of my question it is obvious i am a total noob to bash commands so please keep any descriptions or instructions as basic as possib

I was working with my TF201, and I figured out how to get the su binary on it, and executing, but simply being denied permissions.

I'm confused about execute file permissions not behaving as I expect. Probably because my expectations are wrong. Anyway:

I have a script file, for simplicity is just called s, located in ~/bin. For the sake of this example, the file contains just the following lines:

#!/bin/zsh echo "Test";

Very simple.

Hello, Can I copy a binary file while the file is being written to by another process?

Another process (program) “P1” creates and opens (for writing) binary file “ABC” on local disk. Process P1 continuously write into ABC file every couple of seconds, adding 512-byte blocks of data.

I have a binary file on unix, which when executed asks the user for inputs.The inputs to this binary file are given manually.I want to automate the prcodeure ,since I know the inputs already.I can't modify the binary file.How can I do this ? Is this possible via shell script or even with ant targets ?

While running a binary on linux62, the binary took heavy amount of memory. This particularly happening after it loads java. The same thing is running fine with less memory on earlier versions of Linux.

So i want to know, is there any tools that can list the loaded libraries and their memory size, of a running binary. I didn't get any utilities to do this, on a binary that is currently running.

Adding ssh on embedded linux 43 weeks 1 day ago

I want to run SSH on Qtopia (on my FriendlyARM). My own distribution is Ubuntu, so I cannot copy and paste the ssh binary file into the device.

If I can copy and paste a binary file, where can I find it? If I must compile SSH, how is it possible in my ubuntu?
