I'm guessing that you haven't included the path to the script.  For example,
if your script is called "boink" and is in the subdirectory "/usr/local/bin",
then you could execute it with the command "/usr/local/bin/boink".

Alternatively, put your script in a subdirectory which is in the already existing
path (do "env | grep -i path" to find out) or include the directory in which your
script resides in the path; for example, if you have the script in your home 
directory, put the following in your ".profile" file: "$PATH=$PATH:$HOME".

Best luck,
kf
