it seems that either the script is not executable, or it's not stored
in one of the directories listed in $path. see rc(1):
Simple Commands
...
Names containing no initial slash are searched for in a list
of directory names stored in $path. The first executable
file of the given name found in a directory in $path is the
program to be executed.
...
$path The search path used to find commands and input
files for the . command. If not set in the
environment, it is initialized by path=(. /bin).
Its use is discouraged; instead use bind(1) to
build a /bin containing what's needed.
if you struggle, try to make it work with an absolute path (`| /path/to/c`).
when that works, try either tweaking $path, or /bin via bind(1).
