Make sure the script is marked as executable, then just start it like any
other executable. The kernel will recognize it as shell script 
(which shell can be tuned with "#!/bin/othersh" in the first line of
the script), and pass it on to the shell for interpretation (using
/bin/sh by default, or any other command interpreter that's specified
at "#!" else - possibel are csh, awk, sed, etc. - always with full path!).

If you want to force a script being executed by a certain shell, just
call that shell with the script as argument:

	sh fooscript.sh

I think the execve(2) manpage contains a bit more info.
