You can write a shell script:

python /home/name/scripts/get_info.py dir_3 sample3

Answer 3

Either make the file executable:

chmod u+x thefile
./thefile

or run it as an argument of sh:

sh thefile

Answer 4

That's called a "shell script."

Add this to the top of your file:

#!/bin/sh

Then execute this command:

chmod +x filename

Then execute it like a program:

./filename

Alternately, you can execute the shell directly, telling it to execute the commands in your file:

sh -e filename
