How to make all new files in a directory executable

Question

I want a way by which whenever I create a new file in a particular directory, I want it to be executable by default.

Is this even possible, if so how?

Answer 1

You can change permission of a directory using the following command
chmod -R 700 directory

where -R ----> recursively apply permission all sub-directories and files under directory

Answer 2

It depends, how you create the file. If you want strict executable for the creator only, than use:

chmod 100 myfile

If you need read-write access as well:

chmod 700 myfile

Automatic creation can be done wuth install (part of coreutils):

install -b -m 700 /dev/null myfile
