Winescript

Windows batch files can be run on Linux like shell scripts. First the user must have Wine installed. Then, download the file below. After extracting the file, move it to /usr/bin/ or /usr/share/bin/. Be sure that the file is named "winescript" and is executable.

Below is an example. Use Root privileges when executing the below commands.

mv ./winescript /usr/share/bin/winescript
chmod +x /usr/share/bin/winescript

In the batch file on the Linux system, place "#!/usr/bin/env winescript" in the file as the first line. Then, make the batch file executable (chmod +x ./batchfile.bat).

Now, the batch file can be executed as if it were running on a Windows system.
