cross-platform scripting for windows, Linux, MacOS X [closed]

Answer 1

You could write your scripts in Tcl.

• the syntax is simple and closer to what you'd expect from a script;

• it is cross-platform, and will run on all major platforms;

• you can easily create simple GUIs for your scripts in Tk, which will also work everywhere and use native controls;

• for the Windows-specific functions, you can use Twapi (Win32 API bindings).

• you can install a Tclkit, which is a single file that is the whole Tcl distribution. There's no lengthy install process or hidden files or mysterious directories;

  • you can easily put a linux, windows and mac runtime on a single flash drive so you always have an interpreter handy even if there's not one installed locally.

Answer 2

You could try Batsh

Batsh is a simple programming language that compiles to Bash and Windows Batch. It enables you to write your script once runs on all platforms without any additional dependency.

Answer 3

there is possibility for UNIX and UNIX like platforms in shell, but I don`t think that this what you are asking for is possible in any scripting language because of windows.

For UNIX systems you can use this:

#!/bin/sh

TYPE=`uname`;
echo 'this is ' ${TYPE};

if [ ${TYPE} = HP-UX ]
   then bdf /var;
elif [ ${TYPE} = Linux ]
   then df -h /var;
elif [ ${TYPE} = FreeBSD ]
   then df -k /var;
else echo "Unsupported OS - ${TYPE}"
fi

I hope it will help you!
