Hi,
I am doing a simple project with korn shell. After finishing this I want to circulate the script file to my team for demo.But the script file should not be readable by
the team members.
I used crypt command ,it encrypts the file but the encrypted file is not getting executed. simply my objective is to hide the source code but still it should be executable.


Thanks in advance

Suresh.
 
I think you have a problem,

1. If you have written a shell script you cannot encrypt and execute it because the shell would not recognize the script commands.

2. Anyway I am in doubt if the crypt command is active on your system, because the crypt command was not allowed in systems delivered outside of the United States. The very strict exporting laws had been weakened this year.
