Actually you don't, you can just use 'bash myshellscript.sh' instead ;)
If this doesn't work for you (why?) read below.

That line has several issues, e.g. in Debian users are not automatically
members of the 'users' group.
'uid': use the number shown by running 'id' as your user. It is '1000'
for the user created during the installation process.
'gid=users' is needed only if you need the flash drive to be accessible
by more users in which case you must add them manually to that group
('adduser alice users').
If only you need access use your own gid instead (should be the same as
your uid).
'dmask'/'fmask' are redundant if you already specify 'umask=0'. Normally
I would suggest 'dmask=002' and 'fmask=113'. but you need 'fmask=003' or
similar, so it doesn't make a big difference.
'exec' is only needed because you specify 'users' (do you need it?). See
'man mount' for what it does.
'x-systemd.device-timeout' is redundant as well due to 'noauto' (systemd
shouldn't even attempt to mount it).
Kind regards,
Andrei
