You can execute a shell script in these ways:
- Invoke another shell with the name of your shell script as an argument:
sh myscript
- Load your script as a dot file into the current shell:
. myscript
- Use
chmod
to make the shell script executable, and then invoke it, like this:
chmod 744 myscript
./myscript
In this instance, your shell automatically invokes a new shell to execute the
shell script.
