What are the differences between these? If I'm writing my own scripts, where should I add them? Related: How to understand the Ubuntu file system layout? Improve this question.

RumeshSudhaharan you should not do that, because it's managed by the package management. If any other package also wants to use that path, it will overwrite your file. Files in packages can never overlap at least for official repositories , so you are more safe when installing in the local path. Also, it's just for your own convenience and safety. In a local path you can't mess up the system in such a bad way and you can't accidentally replace a system binary.

Most programs executed by normal users which are not needed for booting or for repairing the system and which are not installed locally should be placed in this directory.
The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard entry in Wikipedia helped me answer the same question when I had it, plus it has a very explanatory table.
The sbin directories contains programs which are generally system administration only. Programs for regular users should never go in them. These must be available before file systems are mounted.
Things like mount , and fsck that are required to check and mount files systems must be there. These may be on a file system other than the root file system. In some cases they may be on a network mounted drive. This identifies them as clearly non-standard, and possibly only available on site. For further explanation try running the command man hier which should provide a description of the recommended file system hierarchy for your distribution.
