Question

Is there any way to run .bat file in Linux environment?
I have a couple of .bat files, the purpose of them is to call mvn install:install-file scripts. Thus nothing OS dependent is in the scripts.

Thank you,

You can use wine or dosbox, but in general there is no known bat interpreter for linux. There are, however, implementations of various unix shells for windows, there’s even a standard toolkit, Windows Services for UNIX (a.k.a. SUA), which include ksh implementation and many other nice goodies, so if you want it OS-transparent, you could consider using that and write your scripts in a POSIX-compliant shell scripting language.

— edit —
On the other hand, if your script contains nothing else other than an mvn <params>, you can just make sure the file has execute permissions (x flag), prepend it with a shell interpreter (like /bin/bash script.bat) and have a go at it. Success not guaranteed, though.
