Hi Dean,
Likely your system is set up (properly so) without the current
directory in the path.
To invoke a shell script named, say, foo.sh, type this:
./foo.sh (Notice the leading dot-slash) and it should run. This
indicates that the script is in the current directory: dot represents
the current directory, slash is the pathname separator.
