To remove execute permissions from a file, you can use the chmod command with the -x option. You can specify whether you want to remove execute permissions for the owner, group, or others. Here are the commands for each case:

  1. Remove execute permission for the owner:

    chmod u-x filename
    
  2. Remove execute permission for the group:

    chmod g-x filename
    
  3. Remove execute permission for others:

    chmod o-x filename
    
  4. Remove execute permission for all (owner, group, and others):

    chmod a-x filename
    

Replace filename with the name of your file. For example, if you have a script named script.sh, you would run:

chmod u-x script.sh  # To remove execute permission for the owner

You can verify the change by running:

ls -l script.sh

This will show the updated permissions for the file.
