Yes - exactly, The name of your script was "day1", IIRC. That's its name - calling it day1.sh doesn't work, because that's the name of a completely different file (that doesn't exist). You *also* need to tell the OS where to find your script - either by giving it an explicit pathname, or letting it find it by searching along $PATH - but that's entirely secondary to the problem of needing to use the right name in the first place. > I understood the part about the file did not exist, my problem was finding > out why it thought it did not exist Simply because it didn't exist. Your script was called "day1". "day1.sh" is not the same file.
