Thanks to all. It now works. I just put the script in /etc/smrsh.
If there is a reason why that should be a link, instead,
let me know. Even (or maybe especially), if it is a "good practices"
reason. There are many good or best practices, which I don't know.

PS. Another bit of humor, this one sent to me by my parents:
An old, bearded shepherd, with a crooked staff, walks up to a
stone pulpit and says...
And lo it came to pass that the trader by the name of
Abraham Com did take unto himself a young wife by the
name of Dot. And Dot Com was a comely woman, broad
of shoulder and long of leg. Indeed, she had been called
Amazon Dot Com. And she said unto Abraham, her husband,
"Why doth thou travel far, from town to town, with thy goods
when thou can trade without ever leaving thy tent?"
And Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle
bags short of a camel load, but simply said, "How, Dear?"
And Dot replied, "I will place drums in all the towns and drums in
between to send messages saying what you have for sale and they
will reply telling you which hath the best price. And the sale can be
made on the drums and delivery by Uriah's Pony Stable (UPS)".
Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way
with the drums, as long as he could have his way with her. And
Dot said, "There will be a lot of banging in the land". And Abraham
replied, "It is my most fervent wish that this be so".
And the drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham
sold all the goods he had, at the top price, without ever moving from
his tent. But his success did arouse envy. A man named Maccabia
did secrete himself inside Abraham's drum and was accused of
insider trading. And the young did take to Dot Com's trading as doth
the greedy horsefly to camel dung. They were called Nomadic
Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Siderites, or NERDS for short.
And lo the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the
deafening sound of drums, that no one noticed that the real riches
were going to the drum maker, one Brother William of Gates, who
bought up every drum company in the land. And indeed did insist
on making drums that would only work if you bought Brother Gates'
drumsticks.
And Dot did say, "Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken
over by others". And as Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel,
or as it came to be known, "eBay", he said, "We need a name of a
service that reflects what we are".
And Dot replied, "Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators".
"Whoopee!", said Abraham.
"No, YAHOO!", said Dot Com.
