Batch Files For Mac



Hi,
normally a .bat file is only a 'text'-file in which a set of instructions is defined that run at the 'Command Prompt' of Windows (and Windows only).
Since you are using Crossover and the main application seems to work within Crossover, the .bat file should work as well in Crossover.
Look at the Crossover manual to find out how to run a .bat file in Crossover.
Since neither Applescript nor Terminal nor OSX itself can handle the 'bottle' concept of Crossover, trying to translate a .bat file or using it outside of Crossover won't work.
Regards
Stefan

How to batch unlock files and folders on Mac As most of you already know, Mac files can be locked to prevent other people with access to the device from moving or deleting them. However, certain items get locked automatically, which makes managing them quite a nightmare: unlocking them one at a time is a very time-consuming process and there's. Use the Finder tool and click on the main folder (the one that contains the files and subfolders that you want to unlock). Now, switch to the List View mode, either by clicking the corresponding button on the interface or by pressing the Command+2 key combination. Select all the items inside the main folder by pressing Command+A.

Shell scripts must be executable files in order to run. You can use the chmod command to indicate that the text file is executable (that is, its contents can be run as a shell script).

  1. In the Terminal app on your Mac, use the cd command to move into the directory that contains the file you want to make executable. For example:

  2. Enter the chmod command. For example:

    % chmod 755 YourScriptName.sh
