Operating system: Linux: File: Batch: Run: How to run a batch file in 
Linux?

---

 sh <your batchfilename>

or also

 sh < <your batchfilename>

---

e.g.

 sh ddd

or also:

 sh < ddd

is similar to running ddd.bat in MSDOS

---

You can also inform the system that it is a batch file, by change the
executable bit, using the chmod command:

 chmod 755 <your filename>

e.g.

 chmod 755 ddd

if you the type

 ddd

on the command line, it will execute the commands in this file

---

Put the file in a 'bin' directory (e.g. in /usr/<myloginname>/bin, or
/bin).
But then the file will only be recognized as executable, when you have
logged out (this because the checking of the involved tables is only
done at login time).
