Bia,
As a normal user you have no access to anything in /root Thats the root users home dir.
To run blabla.sh as a normal user, put it /home/<normaluser>
Change its owner to <normaluser> and make sue it has the eXecute bit set in the file permissions.
You should not be able to install applications system wide as a normal user but if they go into /home<normaluser> it will work.

The problem is not bash, but the script. And more concretely, the fact that:
- it resides into /root, which is the home folder for the root user, and can't be accessed by anyone else.
- it (the script) is probably owned by root.
So, you either copy it to another folder and chown it to be property of the regular (non-root) user, OR download it again as a regular user and save it in your home folder. Then you should be able to open it. |
