Wrong approach. While creating the script, set the x flag as well! Or, when executing the created script, prepend sh or bash to it:

Instead of:

/tmp/myscript.sh

use:

bash /tmp/myscript.sh

Like that you don't have to make the script executable.

What if I can't edit that file? it's very complicated script involving both .sh and .php – John Nov 07 '14 at 11:16
Than make a cron job to run: chmod +x -R /tmp/*.sh – Frantique Nov 07 '14 at 11:35
