Having them with +x makes the shell autocomplete them when the dir is in the user's $PATH, which is an unnecessary nuissance.
This allows the shell to autocomplete the name of the script like any other executable when the SALSA dir is in the user's $PATH.
These scripts are already executable due to their chmod +x, but they are missing a shebang to tell the shell which interpreter is respons- ible for executing them. The convention is to use the "env" command to find an appropriate Python that may be in the user's environment instead of hard coding a path, as the user might have a virtual env loaded or might have Python 3 as the default "python" on the system.

Minor usability improvements:
run_pipeline.pypython2 blah.py(they already have an executable bit). Note that you can still run them withpython2manually if you want.These changes improve the usability when installed system-wide in a multi-user cluster with many versions of Python available, etc.
