I wrote my own shell script, and I made it executable with chmod +x command. But when I click to shell file and want to run it in terminal, it suddenly opens and then closes in a second. What is the problem?

Open the file explorer Files. Press Alt+F10 and select Preferences. You should see something like this.
In the Behavior tab, select Ask each time and close it. Now double on a shell script will ask you what to do each time. If you want to straight away execute the script, select the first option Run executable text files when they are opened.
You have to open nautilus, click File->Preferences (OR) Edit->Preferences,
check Behaviour tab, and select the option you prefer for Excutable Text Files.
