Is there a command to just run any script?

Question

I'm working with multiple scripts at a time, all in diferent languages and I'm tired of typing python3 main.py for python scripts and sh main.sh for shell

Not even mentioning c.

Basically something like this.

run main.py
run main.sh
run main.c

Add an appropriate shebang at the beginning, make the script executable, and start it by just entering the name of the file as a command. — Jos, Nov 14 '20 at 16:19
i still have to do all the compling thing for c but is worth knowing that i can do that — ikenas, Nov 14 '20 at 16:21
The practice of using sh main.sh to run shell scripts really needs to die... — steeldriver, Nov 14 '20 at 16:21
@Jos That's an answer. Would you like to convert your comment into an answer? — Kulfy, Nov 14 '20 at 18:58

I think you can create a file something like run.sh. Open with text editor and place your command to run this files in terminal like below example:

python main.py
gcc main.c
./main.sh

Depending on which source file to compile and run place the code in that run file. Then open properties and check for executable permissions. You can do this using terminal by this command

sudo chmod +rwx run file

Then open terminal and execute the run file as

./run file name

Commands in run file will be executed sequentially.

yes... but i could have a lot of files or create one just to test something... in that case i would be doing more work... thank you anyway – ikenas Nov 14 '20 at 20:30
Then create another c or python program which creates run.sh file based on the run command of each files. – Pranu Pranav Nov 16 '20 at 15:20

Read the file name. If it has extension .c then write gcc file name.c to the run file. same way for c++ python other src files. – Pranu Pranav Nov 22 '20 at 05:48
