In what directory should I place scripts I want to run, and how should the permissions be set?

You can place scripts in any directory.  If you’re running
them system-wide a good place to put them would be in
/usr/local/scripts.  You may ahve to make this directory but if
all of your scripts are in one place it’s easier to manage them. 
They will need to be made executable with ‘chmod +x’ before they can be
executed.
