I regularly use shell files to execute tasks on my Mac quicker.

I just upgraded to MacOS Monterey today, and since then, any shell files I have created, will not execute. Every time I double click on their icon, I get

zsh: operation not permitted.

I have given the files proper executable permissions with

chmod +x my-file.sh and

chmod a+x my-file.sh and

chmod u+x my-file.sh,

but none of those work. Shell files I have created in the past still work fine, but it is just new ones that do not.

Terminal has full disk access in System Preferences.

I am stuck, and I don't know what to do, because I use shell files regularly. If anybody has any idea what's going on, any help would be appreciated.

    Can't reproduce the error. Are you sure you didn't create new files from another user? Maybe you accidentally ran sudo su before creating new files. What does ls -la say? Check the privileges and file owners. Where do you store your files?

  • Welcome to Ask Different. Can you run the scripts from Terminal with /path/to/my-file.sh or you also get an operation not permitted error?

This occurs because of Apple Quarantine:

You can run this:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /PATH/TO/SCRIPTYOUCANTRUN.sh
