Shell scripts need read & execute to work.  After all, what happens
is that ksh (or bash or whatever) starts up (#!/bin/ksh) and then
attempts to read in the rest of the script as it's stdin.
No read permission, so it blows.   Compiled executables don't
suffer from this, but all scripted languages do.  755 or 750 or 700
would be normal permissions for scripts.
