When you did this command
ln -s x.sh ./scripts/y.sh it created a link from ./scripts/y.sh to x.sh. If you had done a ls -l ./scripts/y.sh, you would have seen that it was scripts/y.sh -> x.sh which means it was setting up the link as scripts/y.sh to scripts/x.sh You should have done it as ln -s ../x.sh ./scripts/y.sh
