Sophia,

I guess you are a newbie to shell programming and also working in unix.

I suggest the following -
- learn to work in linux and how to use the shell - try to run small shell scripts - learn about absolute paths, relative paths, what './' and '../' say, refer to.
- read books on unix shell programming. you will find quite a few if you search in the www
- try out some easy programs which are given in the books above.
- all this will definitely help you to debug your problem.

the script i've given is to be copied onto your machine, in a directory say /tmp.

you may cd /tmp and then run as i'd suggested, or run it from your home directory as
$ /tmp/sh.sh

here are a few links to linux tutorials -
