Absolutely not!
No linux shell would ever stoop such disgraceful scripting as COMMAND.COM!
Seriously now ... In unix we usually "call" batch files shell scripts.
To make one simply create a text file. A contrived example follows:
---
#!/bin/sh
ls > /tmp/dir_content
grep fish /tmp/dir_content
---
Now give the people who are going to execute read AND execute permission.
Eg: chmod u+x myscript
The first line of Unix shell scripts is special ... it is in the format of
#!<shell interpreter> [optional paramters]
Thus file with first line of:
#!/usr/bin/perl
is a perl script.
Hope that helps,
Dave.
