Is the script in your PATH?  In the directory the file resides in use a
"./" before the file.  For example if I have a shell script in
/home/kent/script while in /home/kent I would -
$ ./script
to get it to work.  Once I'm satisfied with the script I'll put it in
/usr/local/bin (which is in my user path) or /usr/local/sbin (which is in
my root path).
