Because /etc/init.d is not in your path and the script your trying to run is not in any of the directories in your path.

so unlike windows.. to run a script you cant just be in the directory.. you must have it in the path... or at least use the "./" command..

quick qestion how do i check what my path is? /modify it?

Path works the same in Windows as it does Unix/Linux. ./ tells the shell in this directory. echo $PATH
export PATH=$PATH:/path/you/want/to/add
To make the change permenant(well that is your homework).
