batch file
<operating system> (Or script) A text file containing operating system
commands which are executed automatically by the command-line interpreter. In
Unix, this is called a "shell script" since it is the Unix shell which includes
the command-line interpreter. Batch files can be used as a simple way to combine
existing commands into new commands.
autoexec.bat is the best known example of an MS-DOS batch file.
