Hi,
Comparing ms doze batch files with Linux scripting is a little bit funny :)
There is no special directory for scripts, because there is no general
scripting language. You can add any interpreter to your system and use it with
your scripts first line: #!<absolute_path/interpreter> and adding the
x-attribute. Many scripts can be found e.g. in /usr/bin. They are
almost completely equivalent to "real" commands. If you like, you can add
something like *.sh (shell script) or *.pl (perl script) to identify your
script and to be shure not to accidently replace a system command with some
script (best example: the command "test"). Some people like to add a
bin-directory to their home-directory and set the path to it.
