RE: Converting DOS batch file to UNIX script
Thanks to everybody for your assistance. I have passed this info on to some of our programmers that have UNIX clients. I have also learned a couple basics about UNIX, like Bourne Shell Script is the standard scripting language on UNIX.

You can simply call it 'install' or if you like to 'install.sh' to indicate that is is a Bourne Shell Script (standard scripting language on UNIX). Unix is case sensitive. I don't know exactly what you are going to do with parm1, so I can't figure out more... Hope this helped a bit. Andreas -- Von: Berg, Guy van den[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Montag, 19.

RE: Converting DOS batch file to UNIX script
Sam: Here you go. One of the main differences is that unix is case sensitive, DOS is not. Also, when you write shell scripts, be sure that their permissions are set so they are "executable" The man command in unix will provide you with information about the command you have a question about. To find out about the chmod command, man chmod DOS unix - COPY cp MKDIR mkdir CD cd CD\ cd \ ECHOecho REM # DIR ls DEL rm hth, Mary Ruiz / Atlanta -Original Message- Sent: Friday, February 16, 2001 3:03 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hello All: We are a Windows shop developing a software product that runs on an Oracle database.
