Give your script execute permissions:
Code:
chmod +x script.sh
Note that if it is in the current directory (or any directory not in your PATH), you will have to tell the shell where to find it, e.g.:
Code:
./script.sh

What I wanted is to run the shell script program like any command just typing the omly the name not with an extension like .sh and preceeding the name of the shell i.e
Not- sh filename.sh
But- filename

If you don't want an extension, don't name the file with one.

If you want to type just the name of the file to execute it, give the file execute permissions:

Code:
chmod +x filename

I think you are mixing concepts.

File extensions have no meaning to the OS in UNIX, as they have in Windows. You could name your script whatever you want. But, in order to run it, as cfajohnson has told you, you have to set exec perms.

On the other hand, what you want is to avoid the use of either "sh" before the name of the script, and the use o "./" after it. To do so, you have at least two possibilities:
- Add the directory which contains the binary to your PATH variable.
- Copy or link it in one directory that's already in your PATH.

Regards.
