type `chmod u+x /path/to/initscript' at a root ( # ) shell prompt.
This sets the execute (x) permission for the owner of the file (u).

Under unix you have three permissions, read write and execute, for
each of the owner of the file, the group of the file, and everybody.
So when you do an `ls -l' command, the first field will look something
like `-rw-r--r--'. The first dash means this is a regular file (if it
were a 'd' instead it would be a directory, and there are several
other file types). The next three characters, `rw-', are for the owner
of this file, meaning he can read and write to the file but not
execute it. If the permission were `rwx' then he could do all three.
The next three are the permissions for the group owner of the file,
and the last three for everybody.

Read the manpage for chmod to learn the different syntaxes for
changing permissions, it will help a lot to know this.
