Alternatively,  use the explicate path with the name of the script.
for example:

/usr/home/mayname/scripts/scriptname

1) Make sure it has execute permissions set (man chmod)

2) Make sure it's in a directory specified in your PATH variable.
Usually username/bin/ is a good place to put scripts. Alternatively, cd
to the directory where the script is and do a
   ./myscript.sh

If it is an sh-type script, then "sh " should work,
regardless of how anything else is configured.  If it is a csh-type
script, "csh " should work.

There are a lot of other things you should know along this line; 
a decent tutorial on shell scripting would be a good place to start.
