read the NHF for simple bash scripting, though a script doesn't neccisarily need to use bash. As far as extension ... it doesn't matter as long as it is set as an executable file. As far as running it, it is up to you .. call from the console, create a link to it in your GUI of choice, run it as a service .. its all up to what you want to do with it.
