There is an even worse problem with /user/local/bin.
In the Debian Wiki under “Groups without an associated user”;-
“(note that executables in /usr/local/bin are in the PATH variable of any user, and they may "override" the executables in /bin and /usr/bin with the same name)
So a user could create serious problems by an accidental naming clash.
As a result I have edited the post to save the script in /usr/bin, (and moved it there![:-)]( "Smile")
)
I was considering deleting the Group ‘staff’ as we don’t use it and there are no users in the group.
However, I have yet to find out how to be sure that no files are linked to ‘staff’.
With Linux, the day one stops learning about it one has probably died!
Many thanks CwF for pointing that out.Note when using /usr/local/bin, users in the group ‘staff’ can create and mark executable the script directly to be shared by all users.]
