UMASK questions

Hi world,

In my shell UMASK value is 022,
I'm creating directory the permissions are rwxr-xr-x
i'm creating file the permissions are rw-r--r--

My question is, why i'm not getting x(excute) permission on files...?

Files are not executable by default. If you want to make a particular
file executable i.e. it is a script, then you need to do this manually
i.e. chmod 755 <scriptname.sh>

(I use the .sh extension so I can visually see if a file is a script and
what shell that script is written for i.e. .ksh for Korn shell, .bash
for BASH files etc - just a personal thing.)
