Topic: Possible error in 0.9.9 upgrade instructions?

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 0.9.9
- Deployed with iRedMail Easy or the downloadable installer? DL installer
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version:  Debian Stretch
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): MySQL
- Web server (Apache or Nginx): Nginx
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro? No
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.
====

Pardon me if this was discussed elsewhere, but in the 0.9.9 upgrade instructions (https://docs.iredmail.org/upgrade.iredm … 0.9.9.html), under the section 'Fixed: SOGo backup script doesn't set correct permission on backup files', the user is advised to enter the line 'chmod 0400 backup_sogo.sh'. This permission setting will not allow the script to be executable(?) Is that intentional?

This is intended. The script will be ran by root like "bash /var/vmail/backup/backup_sogo.sh" by cron job.

Thanks, I did not realize that a script could be run without an execute permission, but further research reveals that indeed it can. Sorry for my error.
