startup file Permission Denied. Cygwin

I am able to start the mud and run it fine using the
../src/(mudname).exe in Cygwin.
I cannot seem to use the startup file thought. The Startup file is in the src folder...

I have tried ./startup while in the src directory and tried tcsh aswell.

Its not that big of a deal I suppose since I can run the mud successfully with .exe but I would like to try the other option for future muds also.
The error message I get when using ./startup in the src directory is

$ ./startup
-bash: ./startup: Permission denied

Im using Windows 8, so im curious if it has something to do with that. If anyone else has the same issue please let me know and go step-by-step on how to fix this issue.

You don't have execute permission on the startup file. Try chmod a+x startup.

Thanks. That seemed to help with the Permissions to the file and didn't give me any errors when i used chmod.

Now I have this problem with the startup file.


$ ./startup
limit: stacksize: Can't set limit (Invalid argument)

Im in the SRC directory again too. Also tried "tcsh startup",
and received the exact same error.

Remove that line from the startup file (the one with "limit" in it). I don't believe it is critical.
