If there's a sequence of commands give each command it's own line. Run the file thus: "source name_of_file.txt" without the quotes and they'll get run.

Create a text file with your favorite editor, containing the bash commands you want to execute, save it as , then from the console type: chmod u+x to make the script executable. To execute it, type from a console (in the directory containing the script): ./ bash provides you with lots of control commands (if, while, for...) provided you digest its anachronistic and counter-intuitive the syntax... raffaele I like to put all my shell scripts in a directory called bin off my home directory. That way, you can type the command from anywhere, and it will run. (/home//bin is in you path with the defaul setup in 9.2, and probably 10.0) If you want to see some examples of scripts, look at the entries in /etc/cron.daily, or about 1/3rd of the "programs" in /bin, /usr/bin, /sbin, /use/sbin, ect. There are also a couple of HOWTOs on writing script files, as well as many books. You are not limmited to writing them in one launge. The first line of the script tells what program to use to run the script. #!/bin/bash Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!

Re: [newbie] BATCH FILE
I mean , for example I always mount a flash drive in console with some commands. I want to write these commands to a file ( like batch files in windows) and save this file on desktop. And if I want to run these command file I will double click on this file and it will run automatically and do the job for me ?? Best regards.

Re: [newbie] Batch File In Linux???
You can use "vi" or "kedit" to write the file. Here is an example of a batch file: #!/bin/sh /* This line must be included always */ cd /home/jcc/setiathome-3.03/* A go to a directory and run an file */ ./setiathome -nice 19 & /* Current directory is not in PATH, you must */ /* specificate it with "./" before the filename */ /* The & means it run in background */ ps -e | grep setiathome /* Another commands */ cat state.sah | grep prog= You must make it executable with: chmod +x filename I hope this help you.

[newbie] Batch File In Linux???
Hi there, I was wondering if someone could help me write the equivalent of a batch file for Linux. This is what I need it to do: 1. Open up a Konsole (preferably minimized) and change to the following folder: (/usr/local/bin/Half-Life/hlds_l/), then run the command: startup and keep the Konsole running 2. Open up another new Konsole (preferably minimized as well) and change to the following folder (/usr/local/bin/Half-Life/hlds_l/PB/) then run the command: pb also keep the Konsole running after running the program I'd like to have this so that I can double click on the "batch file" and have it run, or if I have to run it through Konsole, I'd like as an additional step to have the Konsole that I used to run the "batch file" to close after issuing the two commands if possible. TIA Curtis _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
