I am trying to find out how to develop a script that will run a cmd line like .bat in DOS. Were do I learn "how too"
Example is I need to change to a specified directory and then execute a cmd line in a shell window. Then I woiuld like to assign a icon to that .bat file so I can just click on it on my desktop.

There are dozens of scripting languages available for Linux although the biggest might be Perl or Python. A fairly simple but powerful scripting language is included in your shell as well, which I'll assume to be Bash. Here's a nice article that might help. http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=04/06/11/144245 You could also try to google for bash script howtos. -- Donald Grayson Systems Administrator SportPaint, Inc.
