(defun do-myscript ()
  (interactive)
  (shell-command "myscript"))

(global-set-key (kbd "C-r") #'do-myscript)

Anyway, compile mode is far more convenient if it understands your error
messages.  You could e.g. (global-set-key (kbd "C-c c") #'compile) if
you don't like to type M-x compile every time.

But in case of latex files it's probably a better idea to look how to
manipulate the external programs used by auctex (don't know if
compile-mode understands latexs error messages).
