A point to note is that this book assumes a level of familiarity with Unix - how to invoke commands, how to set path etc. You can't blame the book for that.
Frankly, I don't see why I wouldn't blame the book for this. In the least, they should mention somewhere that one should have some shell familiarity. The preface makes no such statements on the assumptions.
A mere two or three lines of chmod +x byState and adding a "./" would have been a much better option, given that these are uniform across all Unix-like operating systems.
