To run it, simply type

"./"" and followed by the script name without spaces after "/"
Make sure u r in that scripts directory too.

i.e. For a script called "myScript" which is located in /home/richard directory, type:
----> cd /home/richard

----> ./myScript

OR u can do so by typing the command :

----> /home/richard/myScript

1. Create a new script called "abc" in /home directory and type the following text:

/sbin/ifconfig

2. Save and exit.

3. Now open go to the current home directory using a terminal/console ----> text mode, go to the home directory.

4. Type:

chmod 770 abc

5. now "abc" will be an executable script which will display the ip address of ur network card let's say eth0.

6. run the script u have just created by typing:

./abc

Done
