How a batch file be converted to run on Linux?
Posted on 18 April 2010 by Abidoon
I need some help with running a batch (bat.) using something other than windows, (MacOSX or linux ubuntu) I know that the file can’t simply be run but it can be converted to do so, however I have no idea how to do this.
I have the actual file that I need converted and I will be happy to give it to anyone interested in helping me with this problem.
Please help me out 
Sounds like you want a shell script.

Your best bet will to try to find the equivalent commands for linux. These sites may help.

The plus side is that you’ll probably be very good at both when you’re done.
