Rep:
There is no batch file in linux. You have to use any editor like vim or gedit, anyone and start with the first line using-
#!/bin/bash
and then you can write in the file. Give the file executable permission and then you can execute the file.
And this is what we call shell scripting. If you want the script to run at booting time you can put the file in /etc/rc.local/ directory.

The *nix shell scripting languages are much more powerful than simple batch files. They take longer to learn, but allow you to do more, more easily, once learned.
