Create file with execute permission

If you use vim , this can be an automated solution:

Add the following line to your ~ / .vimrc :

au BufWritePost * if getline(1) =~ "^#!" | if getline(1) =~ "/bin/" | silent !chmod +x <afile> | endif | endif

It will detect whenever there is a file where the first line has "/ bin /" or start with "#!" and run chmod + x automatically.

You can not add the execute privilege by default when creating files.

The umask ( file-creation mode mask ) setting of the system controls the default permissions of files and directories. The default value is 0002, which results in the permissions 0664 (666 - 002, fmask - umask ) for files and 0775 (777 - 002, dmask - umask ) for directories. And it is not possible to change fmask and dmask .

Source: Making new files automatically executable

The solution would be to create a scheduled task using the command crontab -e and inserting the line below at the end of the file

* * * * * find ~/*.sh -type f -exec chmod +x {} \;

The command will run every minute, it finds the .sh files inside your user folder and adds execute permissions.

It may be interesting to run every 5 minutes (or more), according to demand, so change the beginning of the line to */5 * * * *

If this is something common for you, why do not you create a command for it and save it on your Path with your bin ? Like this:

echo -e "#!"'which bash'"\ntouch \ && chmod +x \" > mkscript && chmod +x mkscript

Then whenever you want to create an executable script, you just call the command like this:

mkscript <nome_script>
