To make this executable:

Add a "shebang" at the top of your file:
#!/bin/bash

And make your file executable (chmod +x script.sh)

Finally, modify your path to add the directory where your script is located:
export PATH=$PATH:/appropriate/directory

(typically, you want $HOME/bin for storing your own scripts)

then run it with
. c9start.sh or soruce c9start.sh
to change directory itself.
