WFFM.  Assuming the script is executable, it should work.  But if it isn't
executable, I would expect that it wouldn't work for either variant.  But
maybe you have two versions of 'myscript.sh', one in ~/bin and one
elsewhere, where the one elsewhere is executable and the one in ~/bin is
not.  If not, I'd recommend reading the bash man page for helpful hints.
