Yes.
A 'batch file' on M$DOS systems is read and acted on (interpreted) by the
command shell (command.com).
In linux the normal command interpretor you see is bash, which stands for
Bourne-Again Shell. You can write batch files (called scripts in linux)
with any text editor and bash will act on it.
Get a introductory bash book. A quick (and probably too high level)
introduction is available by typing 'man bash'.
See http://www.gnu.org/manual/bash-2.02/html_mono/bashref.html for the whole
story.

Richard.
