According to BB on 1/13/2008 5:41 PM:
| can login to a shell from windows and run commands but how do I create a
script

A script is just a file containing the commands that you would have run
from the shell, optionally prefixed by something like a #!/bin/sh line to
specify the intepreter of those commands.

Perhaps your real question was how you can automate the running of such a
script without user intervention?  If so, why not ask that in the first
place?  At any rate, cron serves as a nice package to automate the running
of arbitrary scripts at set times.
