permission denied

I am trying to execute a script from the command line as root, but am getting a permission denied error. The cause of the problem: I was editing the script with vi when I lost my internet connection.

How can I fix this problem? Even when I delete the file and re-create it I get the error when I try to execute it.

Thanks, Ryan

please reread page 3 of your *nix man
3 ways:
1: give run permissions,
chmod 755 filename
or
chmod a+x filename
2: start it in a shell, /bin/sh filename
3: if you still get the error, in the script, you are calling an unknown interpreter

assumed in filename is
#!/bin/xxx
do something
exit 0

calling filename will give that error.
not filename but /bin/xxx IS the error.
