You have to make the script executable via 'chmod' before execution. If the script file name is 'tomcat_killer.sh'

$ sudo chmod +x tomcat_killer.sh

then to create shortcut, rename the file to 'k' and copy to /usr/bin/ (or one of the another path in PATH variable)

$ sudo mv tomcat_killer.sh k
$ sudo cp k /usr/bin

now k kills Tomcat.
