Have you make your script executable with chmod?
Have you start your script with /directory/scriptname or ./scriptname?

Regards

re: help
well i guess u created a script by using cat or the vi editor ..after that u need to change the permission of the script using chmod 777 filename ..since its a script u need to make it a executable ..after that u could run the script sh filename.sh ...or simply ./filename..both will work ..i guess this was what the previous person was trying to explain

re:

Also if you donn wan to use it like "./filename" then you need to put your script file in $HOME/bin ... if it exists and included in $PATH, or else create bin in $HOME or anywhere u like and also .. export the same to the $PATH.
eg. export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
then use it as "filename".

You need to copy your scripts file to $HOME/bin
