Need help! Linux version of a Windows batch file

[klipp]

From an icon on the Desktop I need the following to happen:

(I assume I have to use KDESU before the program name ) which will be kdetv-Television and another with kdetv-S-Video

 

kdetv-Television, I need to do the following:

rmmod bt878

rmmod bttv

modprobe bttv card=37 tuner=43

modprobe bt878

kdetv

 

then for kdetv-S-Video:

rmmod bt878

rmmod bttv

modprobe bttv card=72 tuner=5

modprobe bt878

 

 

 

I don't know how to make the equivelent windoz batch files in Linux, Thanks for any help!

 

 

 

 

EDIT(Qchem): Moved to Terminal Shell Commands...

You will be able to do this as a shell script, basically you can just create a file which contains the commands you wish to run. It is good practice to start the script with

 

#!/bin/bash

 

and end it with

 

exit 0

 

so that a new session is started and exited cleanly. To make the file executable, either right click on it and change the permissions or via the command line:

 

chmod +x nameofscript

 

 

Hope this helps you get started.

if you ever want to learn about bash scripting

the reference is the advanced bash scripting guide

There are also tutorials around for less advanced uses

 

Much more flexible than *.bat
