I saw nobody in the thread suggested this:
Instead of a ~/script dir I use a ~/bin dir and didn't need to change
anything because ~/.bash_profile already contains:
# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d ~/bin ] ; then
PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}"
fi
Of course, this is Debian specific, while the other solutions should
apply to any distro.
