From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You want the install command.
install
At least, I think this will do it. I haven’t used it in a while.
touch file && chmod +x fileis good but this here is the one true command for the purpose.that's what I was trying to say.
install -m755 /dev/null targetwas the first thing I thought of. I would never use this but it is a single command.Why would you never use it?
I'm going to write (at least part of) the script first anyway, and then I can just use chmod +x after the file is saved which is shorter.
