| Hello,
|
| Yesterday, I modified a shell script and some how it became
non-executable (-rw-r--r--) but it is still list in green color. I did not
notice the permission change until this morning when my cron jobs failed.
I can not reproduce this scenario
|
| OS: Linux 2.4.21-27.ELsmp
| Term: PuTTY XTERM
| ls --version: (coreutils) 4.5.3

This version is several YEARS old.  I would recommend upgrading to the
latest stable version, 6.11, as there have been some bug-fixes to ls
coloring in the meantime.

| ls='ls --color=tty'
|
| Have anyone run into this problem?

Perhaps the LS_COLORS environment variable, in addition to coloring
executables, is also requesting that certain file extensions be colored
green?  Did you use dircolors to prime the LS_COLORS environment variable?
