How to create a batch file?

[Paul_6]

I know how to create a batch file under DOS, but how to do the similar things under HP-UX 10.20? Also how to create an icon for an batch file and put it onto the desktop?

Paul:

A batch file in DOS is equivalent to a shell script in UNIX. Here's a thread that givess some excellent references on Shell scripting.

Hi,

when you have reached the knowlegde to create a script, here's how to put it on the desktop (CDE):
Start the application manager from CDE panel.
Doubleclick at 'desktop applications'
Doubleclick 'Create Action'
Type in the new action name and the scriptfilename (best with absolute path)
Choose terminal based application.
Now save it.
The Action file is stored at you home dir ($HOME)
Now open the file manager from CDE panel and search for the Action file.
Simply drag and drop the icon from within file manager to the desktop.
