My question is simple.

Why ubuntu don't support sh example.sh command?

It's more convenient than cd $wd; ./example.sh and add PATH in some situation.

login.sh

~/bin/logmitgw.sh -i 4564646 dfdsfsdf

logmitgw.sh

some code

When I'm running sh ~/bin/login.sh

It print

sh: 0: Can't open ~/bin/login.sh

ls -l ~/bin/login.sh

-rwxrwxr-x

What is cd $wd? – Mowgli Nov 18 '12 at 4:13
change working directory to the shell directory – qingfeng Nov 18 '12 at 4:17

You need to be more specific about your problem. The example you gave (sh example.sh) should work, unless the script you are trying to execute requires another shell or interpreter different from sh. – Salem Nov 18 '12 at 4:21
@Salem I have edited my question. – qingfeng Nov 18 '12 at 4:29
Please include the output of "ls -l /bin/login.sh" – andol Nov 18 '12 at 4:32

If the script is in ~/bin then ~/bin will already be in the path. As long as it's a bash script you can execute it from anywhere at all. No need to shell, no need to cd, and no need to add anything in your path.

eg:

login.sh
