Hi Zach,

Did this change make it into the newly released 8.0.6? I just downloaded 
it and tried setting :

JOB_EXECDIR_PERMISSIONS = WORLD

on the execute host, but the permissions remain 0700. Or have I missed 
something? We really need this functionality if we're to consider moving 
from 7.8 to 8.0.

Best regards,
Mark
