Bash build system for running currently open script in Sublime Text 2
{
"cmd" : ["$file"],
"selector" : "source.shell",
"shell" : "bash"
}

However, it seems like you can fix that by modifying the build system slightly. Instead of specifying "shell": "bash", you can manually pipe it through bash, like so:

{
    "cmd"       : ["bash", "$file"],
    "selector"  : "source.shell"
}

I run a sh file using above build script and run smoothly but waits at some point and doesn't take input if I type.

rm: remove write-protected regular file `/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules'?

I typed y but didn't take any action.

Any Idea?

In sublime text 3, I am using the following:

{
    "cmd"       : ["$file"],
    "selector"  : "source.shell",
    "path"      : "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin"
}

Note: I had to add "path" above, as the terminal in Sublime was using a different PATH, my other attempts at adjusting my PATH were unsuccessful. Also see the build system reference for more details.

I also had to add the line as suggested above,
"path" : "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin"
Even though I already set up my symbolic links in terminal properly = Yes, I can run "python3" from any location...
To hammer it in farther... When I type
"echo $PATH"
it returns
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/X11/bin:/Users/Hendrix/bin"

Yes, I am new at development. However, from logical deduction I ponder if sublime text 3 is not using ~/.bash_profile, or the system paths(??did I say that right?) as we might be drawn to assume... Then again... I am still at noob level, ,, but ya, adding the "path" line as suggested by 'farinspace' did the trick for me - OS X 10.9.5

For some language (for example russian) whitespace symbols can be found in path:
/home/username/Рабочий стол/test.sh
and "cmd" : ["$file"], not works correctly. I recommend add quotes and chmod for set permissions
"cmd" : ["chmod +x \"$file\" && \"$file\"" ],

If one wants to also have a "debug mode", a simple variant is

{
    "cmd": ["bash", "$file"],
    "selector": "source.shell",

    "variants":
    [
        {
            "name": "Debug",
            "shell_cmd": "/bin/bash -xv \"${file}\""
        }
    ]
}

note the escaped quotation marks to avoid issues with spaces etc. in the file name
