In unix, you have shells, wich are command interpretters and do the
job using some basic OS calls like fork, kill, exec etc. These are not
just interpretters but have specific language for programming. You can
either execute your commands one after another or just put them all in
a file and execute the file.
Just execute "man tcsh/csh/bash" to find out about the syntax of your
shell.
In short scripts are not precompiled executables. They are interpretted
and specfic action is taken in the process of every line being executed.

or in simple terms, you could say automisation of an activity. lets
say you want to run a verification cycle on your code with multiple
input files. you could write a script which says reun first file, upon
completion run next one , then the third. or a set of commands which
says start the place and route with some group then start with next
sequence and continue till you get the best results
