Can't execute shell script from python subprocess: permission denied

Question

Tried googling but couldn't find something that relates to my particular problem. I'm trying to run a shell script from python but the shell script wouldn't run because of a permission denied error. The python code I'm running is:

process = subprocess.Popen('run.sh', shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE) process.wait() .... os.killpg(pro.pid, signal.SIGTERM) 

The error I'm getting:

python RunScript.py "input" /bin/sh: 1: run.sh: Permission denied 

The contents of my shell script is:

#!/bin/sh abspath=$(cd "$(dirname "$0")"; pwd) CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$abspath/"lib/*":$abspath/"bin" export CLASSPATH java -classpath $CLASSPATH my.folder.path.Class $abspath/../data/data.txt $abspath/../data/data2.txt 

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Check your run.sh mode, if no executable flag, set it with command

chmod +x run.sh 

Answer 2

its because you don't have permission to run that script. You will need to give executable permission for that script to run.

chmod a+x run.sh
