Similar to setuid, the setgid functionality gives the user the ability to run scripts with a group owner's privileges, even if it is executed by any other user:
$ chmod g+s filename
Alternatively, you can use the following command:
$ chmod 2777 filename
File permissions after any of the preceding two commands will be drwxrwsrwtx.
