gzip, tar files

[jayjaybigs]

Hello All,

I have couple of files named as follows:

file1.txt
file2.txt

I am intrested in zipping them up, tar, add date and move to another directory to make it look as follows:

allfiles.febuary.tgz

Here is my effort: This file is named myscript.sh
#!/usr/bin/sh

tar -czvf logfiles.date.tgz files1.txt files2.txt

mv logfiles.date.tgz new_location/

exit

HOwever, I am having some problems. Also, how can i ran this shell script without typeing:
bash myscript.sh
