If you write

osascript -e "set Volume 10"

after the -e is the full content of the script.

if you put into some file (lets call it volume.scpt)

set Volume 10

you can call the script-file as

osascript /path/to/volume.scpt

To run a compiled script (file) you have to omit the -e flag and pass the full path to the script

/usr/bin/osascript /Users/myUser/path/to/my_script.scpt
