[wplug] Linux Bat Files

[dk at curlynoodle.com]

Mark:

I am rather new the Linux myself, and I ran into the same issue as you 
awhile back.

A reference similar to this one 
(http://howtos.linux.com/guides/abs-guide/dosbatch.shtml)
helped me rather well.

Just a note. In DOS, you have a batch file (.bat).  In Linux they are 
shell scripts (.sh).

Regards,
Dave Kraus
