The first line should give the absolute path of the shell it wants to be
run by, so:
#!/bin/sh
The user needs execute permission to the file.
It must be in the user's path (echo $PATH to see what that is.)
If you want to be able to run scripts in your current directory without
./, "." must be in the path. This is considered by most thinking people
to be a security hazard, particularly for root.
