Need help for Windows cmd commands into Linux terminal commands.

Hi there, Im new to linux and
I understand that the terminal
is the same as the command
prompt of windows. Correct me
if I am wrong please.
I used to create batch files for
compiling certain java programs
that I do in windows. Can
anyone help me translate this
batch file into something
for linux? What is the
equivalent of batch files
for windows in Linux?
Here is the code:
==========================
@echo off
cd c:\Documents and Settings\.....
set path=%path%;C:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin
javac *Sample.java
java Sample
pause
==========================
Id really appreciate for any help
guys. Thank you.

The equivalent of batch files in *nix are shell scripts. You are probably using the Bourne Again SHell (Bash), so you might be interested in http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/abs-guide.html

The Bash shell equivalent (untested of course) of your batch file would be:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
cd $HOME/javastuff
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/jdk/bin
javac *Sample.java
java Sample
sleep

After you write it, then set it executable with chmod +x bat_to_script.sh.
