./shell-script will work if the file has the x flag on, and I am not
sure about this, the "shebag" line.
it will not work if the file is *not* x-ed, for that u do need:
sh ./shell-script
or
. ./shell-script
and the semantics for both of the above are very different!
Also, one doesn't need the ./ if the script is in u'r path ...
