Running a simple script

Comment:
I am a windows person and I have little experience with Solaris.
I have a script called backup and I need to run it on a Solaris computer. I am logon as su and I'm in the currect directory, but when I enter backup nothing happens. I get a bad command error.
Can anyone give me suggestions what I might have to do to run the script? The more details the better.

Most likely your current directory is not in your $PATH . Try executing with either the full path to the script or as ./scriptname

1) is your script writting in windows(bat) if so, i don't think u can run in Unix box. 2) ensure your script is executable. 3) to execute the script run ./backup or sh backup in the directory that u place your script.
