In Linux, unlike dos, your current working directory is not automatically on the default command path. This is a security feature; it means that if you unpack a piece of malicious software from an email and it has the same name as a system command, it won't run in preference to the real thing.

To run a command that is in your home directory, you must give its full pathname to show Linux where to look for it. You can use "." as an abbreviation for the current working directory, e.g. ./script_name.
