nicer way to running script in unix

Make a folder in home where you can store all your script

mkdir ~/(desiredNameForFolder)

Add this folder to path variable by adding this line to your .bash_profile

PATH = "$PATH:~/(desiredNameForFolder)

and source your bash by (if you use other shell, then add this line to that shell rc)

source .bash_profile Or restart terminal app. (if you use iterm or xterm, then restart that as well)

Now after creating your script you can run it, just by fixing permission by chmod like

chmod a+x (yoursriptnam) and running $ youscriptname in terminal.

For more nicer way we can add few lines to text editor rc like for vim add

au BufWritePost * if getline(1) =~ "^#!" | if getline(1) =~ "/bin/" | silent !chmod +x <afile>

to automatically fix permission when a script file is saved
