For future reference, the script in question is in fact not "below"
(under) document root. In fact, it is quite the opposite; it is outside of
document root.

The only things that you have to have under document root are those things
that need to be referenced via a URL. That's it.

A shell script.

If the script is named foo, type this from the directory where it is
located:

./foo start

Hope that helps.
