In Brazilian tech culture, both 'executar um script' (formal) and 'rodar um script' (informal) are widely used. The term reflects the heavy influence of English in the technology sector. 'Rodar' (literally 'to run/roll') is preferred in casual conversation among developers, while 'executar' is more formal and technical. In the USA, 'run a script' is standard terminology in programming, DevOps, and IT contexts.
