    How do I run .sh file shell script in Linux?

    The procedure to run the .sh file shell script on Linux is as follows:

    • Open the Terminal application on Linux or Unix

    • Create a new script file with .sh extension using a text editor

    • Write the script file using nano script-name-here.sh
      Set execute permission on your script using chmod command :
      chmod +x script-name-here.sh

    • To run your script :
      ./script-name-here.sh
      Another option is as follows to execute shell script:
      sh script-name-here.sh
      ORbash script-name-here.sh

    Escape space characters

    I've solved it by including a backslash to escape the space:
    /Program Filesbecomes/Program\ Files`

    Run on Startup

    Try using this command to ensure your script is added to the boot sequence:

    sudo update-rc.d /etc/init.d/nameofscript.sh defaults

    Note that you can make a script executable using the +x option with chmod:

    chmod +x /etc/init.d/nameofscript.sh
