I bet the admin was trying to run the script with 'chmod +x test.exe'. Wrong file extension, my friend!

I heard the admin tried to run the script with 'sudo chmod +x test.sh' but forgot the 'sudo' part. Classic rookie mistake!

Shutting down the computer? Are you kidding me? That's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. A is the obvious choice here.

Why would you create a systemd service for a simple script? That's overkill. Just add the shebang line and make it executable. A is the simple solution.

Restarting the computer won't help here. The script needs to be properly set up, not the system. I'd say A and B are the way to go.

I also think creating a unit file for the new service in /etc/systemd/system/ might be necessary.

The issue is likely that the script doesn't have the shebang line, which specifies the interpreter to use. I'd go with option A - adding #!/bin/bash to the top of the script.
