Pardon moir for chiming in here, but I have noticed 3 different posts about
the proper chmod for the executable on this thread: 744, 755 and now 750
.....I've typically used 755, but if there is some reason for the others as
a preference I would be interested in the reasons. or when one should be
used over the other...

Not second-guessing, just curious. Thanks & Merry Xmas!
