Try 

/removeCiv.sh

or move the script to an 'executables' directory, such as /usr/local/bin.

By default, the current directory (.) is not on your path.  You can add it,
but it opens up some security holes.  (I can put a program named "cd" in a
random directory and the next time you go there, it gets executed when you
try to leave the directory...)
