To use this script, just place this in "/bin" directory (and grant it 755 perms). Then run your source files like "run helloworld.c" or "run HelloWorld.java" or "run helloworld.c"

run

Quickly compile and execute a source file in one-go. Does cleanup of executable file, if any.
Handles C, C++, Java, PHP, Shell and Python
