From within a bash shell how do I execute a .bat script? BTW, I don't want to have to do anything verbose like invoke cmd.com with the name of the script, I just want to be able to type the name of the script on the command line and/or be able to invoke it from within another script (or via a "system" call). It seems to me that the convention of #!/path/to/script/interpretor as the first line won't work if the script is invoked from a normal win32 environment. Basically what I'm looking for is the ability to invoke scripts from any environment without regard to the environment I'm in. How do I do this?
