Works for me with all my testing so far: $ touch f1 f2 $ chmod 000 f1 $ chmod 777 f2 $ bash -c 'test -x f1; echo $?' 1 $ bash -c 'test -x f2; echo $?' 0 $ dash -c 'test -x f1; echo $?' 1 $ dash -c 'test -x f2; echo $?' 0 For me to reproduce your failure, I would need more details. I'm wondering if it might be an ACL issue. What do 'id', 'stat "$JAVACMD"', and 'getfacl "$JAVACMD"' state about the permissions on that file and the permissions you are supposed to be able to have? That said, I haven't yet looked into the source code; if it IS an ACL issue, then it is a question of dash using stat() instead of access() (or even better, euidaccess/faccessat). -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
