You can give this a try. Change to the directory that you are planning to perform the executable count. And execute the following:
Code:
find . -type f -perm -o+rx | wc -l Hope this helps. Jaysunn

GNU/find has the -executable option:
Code:
find /usr/sbin -executable | wc -l

Code:
find /usr/sbin -executable -type f | wc -l Code:
find /usr/sbin/ -type f -perm -o+rx | wc -l Almost a close match!
