Newbie Scripting Help

[Silent98989]

I'm currently trying to execute scripts in terminal as root, when i attempt to run them the system generally requires me to use

su root ./file.sh

after changing permissions on file.sh it allows me to execute the script by simply typing:

./file.sh

however now, the script proceeds to run another script from within the same directory. File.sh looks like this

#!/bin/sh

./file_loop.sh

the console executes ./file.sh but when attempting to execute ./file_loop.sh it tells me

./file.sh: line 3: ./file_loop.sh: Permission denied

Please help!

Is file_loop.sh executable?

[Silent98989]

i just set the file to "allow executing as a program" but ls -l doesn't show it as -x

[Silent98989]

okay, here's the exact scripts. at this point i don't really mind people seeing it.

startGameServer.sh

#!/bin/sh

./GameServer_loop.sh

GameServer_loop.sh

#!/bin/bash

# exit codes of GameServer:
#  0 normal shutdown
#  2 reboot attempt

while :; do
	[ -f /L2J/gameserver/log/java0.log.0 ] && mv log/java0.log.0 "log/`date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S`_java.log"
	[ -f log/stdout.log ] && mv log/stdout.log "log/`date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S`_stdout.log"
	java -Xms768m -Xmx768m -cp ./../libs/*:l2jserver.jar net.sf.l2j.gameserver.GameServer > log/stdout.log 2>&1
	[ $? -ne 2 ] && break
#	/etc/init.d/mysql restart
	sleep 10
done

the scripts are supposed to start a L2J emulated server
