    How to convert unix shell script to DOS batch file

    Hi Gurus

    I'm running some unix shell scripts from cron-job in the unix server for automatic checking, alerting and paging purpose. Those unix scripts are working fine.

    I want to run the same kind of script in our Windows NT database server.

    My question is:
    How to convert Unix script to DOS BAT file.

    Can someone assist me in this regard.

    Thanks and regards

    1) Open UNIX script in a text editor and save as a Windows-readable text file as necessary.
    2) Open the bat file and edit UNIX commands, paths, whatever to make them DOS-like. Change commands as necessary. Change paths as necessary.

    Take a look at WinBatch. It is a very powerful tool for writing scripts in Windows. Its not free, but it will let you do a lot.

    This is but one of about 400,000 hits on Google. Sorry, didn't have time to list all of them.

    There is software that you can run on Windows that will emulate a Unix shell.

    I've used Cygwin. It's free and it works well
