Final answer:
To execute a script called my-script in Linux, change its permissions to executable with chmod +x, and run it with ./my-script or with an interpreter command for scripts written in languages like Python or Perl.
Step-by-step explanation:
To run/execute a script named my-script in the Linux terminal, you would first need to ensure that the script has execute permissions. You can grant execute permissions using the chmod command with chmod +x my-script. Once the script is executable, you can run it by typing ./my-script if you are in the same directory as the script, or by providing the full path to the script if you are in a different directory. It's worth noting that if the script is written in an interpreted language like Python or Perl, you may need to precede the script name with the interpreter command, such as python my-script or perl my-script.
