But what command did you try to run?  You didn't say.

If you are trying to run a script located in the current directory (which
is not and should not be in your PATH by default), you have to specify
the path to the program.  Which is ./ for current directory.

./myscript

I have no idea why you have an executable file beginning with a dot.
Files that begin with a dot are traditionally configuration files used
by some other program.

I believe the config file for fetchmail is actually ~/.fetchmailrc and
not ~/.fetchmail but it's been years since I last looked at fetchmail.
