If you did not put the scripts directory in your PATH, and . (the
current directory) is not in the PATH either, you can activate the
script like this:
./script_name.sh
A script can also explicitly be executed by a given shell, but
generally we only do this if we want to obtain special behavior, such
as checking if the script works with another shell or printing traces
for debugging:
rbash script_name.sh
sh script_name.sh
bash -x script_name.sh
