Question

Is it possible to write a single script file which executes in both Windows (treated as .bat) and Linux (via Bash)?

Answer 1

I needed this for some of my Python package install scripts. Most things between sh and bat file are same but few things like error handling are different. One way to do this is as follows:

common.inc
----------
common statement1
common statement2

Then you call this from bash script:

linux.sh
--------
# do linux specific stuff
...
# call common code
source common.inc

Windows batch file looks like this:

windows.bat
-----------
REM do windows specific things
...
# call common code
call common.inc
