Welcome to LQ.

It depend what you mean by "batch file".

If you mean a list of commands to be executed by an interpreter like "bash" or another program, then you can use a text editor like "vi" "nano", "gedit", whichever are available in your distribution.

In Linux it isn't called a batch file, it is called a shell script. Most likely your system uses the Bash shell, you can find information here:
