You have to make it executable ('chmod +x nameoffile.sh', which will make executable for every user) and then you have to type the name of the file with the path included (if the directory where it lives isn't in the PATH variable); for instance type

Code:

/home/joe/nameoffile.sh

or, if you are in the same directory just type

Code:

./nameoffile.sh

Don't forget to change permissions

chmod 700 myfile.sh or chomod 755 myfile.sh

Assuming it's a Bourne shell script the first line of the shell shouldbe:

Code:

#! /usr/bin/sh

./nameoffile.sh should do it, but go to where it is first.
