Well, there are two ways. You can explicitly execute it thusly:
sh mysript
Or, you can mark it as executable, so that you don't need to specify a
shell interpriter each time.
chmod 700 myscript
then, put it in a directory that is in your path. This is often the
bin directory off your home directory. (If you don't have one, you need
to create it, mkdir bin, and then edit your profile or shell rc script to
include it in the path statement.)
Having done all that, you should just be able to type the name of the
file, and IF the file has the proper designator at the top, the
appropriate interpritor will be given the script for execution.
You might consider joining the organization below, or at least
looking them over.
