If the file is executable then it is executed. If executed then the '#!' line will have effect. If not executable then the '#!' won't have any effect. If it isn't executable then it is run with the standard shell (which effectively is /bin/sh). Therefore depending upon what effect you are trying to achive you will either want it to be executable or not. For me in almost all cases I will always want to make it executable. See /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50x11-common_determine-startup for the code implementing the behavior. You can look at this old bug for more information and pointers to previous discussions on this topic. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=250765 Bob
