This is wrong by construction.

The idiom is: put into your script:

#!/path/to/interpreter <flag_for_interpreter_if_any>

<code_to_be_interpreted_by_the_interpreter>

, and the script needs to have have executable permission if you are going to 
invoke it as

./script

or as

/full/path/to/script
.

The "#!/path/to/interpreter <flag_for_interpreter_if_any>" should the very 
first line in the script.
