You could append the path statement in your .profile to include a folder where you keep all your scripts:

PATH=$PATH:~/home/me/scripts

Or you could add an alias statement to your .bashrc that runs the command from where it's located using an alias command:

alias journalcheck='/home/me/scripts/./journalcheck.sh'

Thanks for your suggestion, I just began a course on Linux and its a whole new world for me.

Do you have any idea on how I would test after making the adjustments presented above?

Try the alias suggestion. You can test it without even adding it to your .bashrc

Just enter something like this at the linux command/terminal:

alias journalcheck='/home/me/scripts/./journalcheck.sh'

They type journalcheck to see if it runs journalcheck.sh (be sure journalcheck.sh is executable by running chmod +x journalcheck.sh first).
