Yes, especially since cowsay was marked in a different color!

Expected behaviour from *nix would be that you'd either

  sh somescript.sh
Or

  ./someexecutable
Of course the extension is not technically required, but it would help in the UX for the user to try running it on the sh command.

As "cat cowsay" tells me that cowsay is an executable, I wouldn't expect "sh cowsay" to work in any event.

I personally think this is the best solution besides implementing ‘./‘: take the colouring off and simply return “permission denied” when someone tries to ‘chmod’
