Perl startup script in synApps 6.3 does not have executable permissions by default #71

Closed jkirchman closed 8 months ago

jkirchman commented 8 months ago

The change in synApps 6.3 from using a shell script to a perl script (xxx.pl) for softioc start up should have set the executable permisions for the new perl script executable. As it is now after installing xxx, the user must manually chmod +x the script file to begin using it (without prefacing it with "perl").

xxx.pl seems to already be executable. Is this after running changePrefix? I think the issue is with changes I had to make for that to be cross-compatible. I've just edited that to retain file permissions.

Yes, I think you might be correct. A new IOC built today has the x permissions set.
