You have to change the permissions on the file to make it exectuable...chmod +x should do it, but I'm not quite sure for that file.

As for the updates, what kind? apt-get update or something else?

what distro are you using?

ps nice sig macdude ^_^

fedora core 3

and.. just typing that in wont give me file permission would it? i'd need the path too i think?

you need to be root to change permissions

su
enter password (it WONT show up when you type it)
