The .sh designates that the file is a shell script. Linux doesn't do file
associations like windows does. You could call it anything, and as long as
it's an executable file, it'll run. CHMOD the files you need to run.

Subject: installing on linux
hello-
i just ran gunzip on the binary distribution i got from mysql.com (
mysql-3.23.33.tar.gz ).
The 'mysql_install_db' cannot be run because it has a '.sh' ending on it.
Actually many of the files in that same folder have a '.sh' ending.
(mysql_install_db.sh)
Why is this, and what do I do!?
THANKS-
Mac
