Topic: Using Nano to Edit scripts for Windows

[billi]

Syntax      nano -D <script name>

Found this handy  in the world of netlogon scripts
You can write windows CMD / BAT scripts from the linux command line.

Syntax      nano -D <script name>

Not to spoil the fun, but as far as I know above option will only make the text for the menu options and the top bar bold (bright white) with a black background instead of the black text on a gray background:

Code: [Select]

[root@smetest ~]# nano --help | grep "\-D"
 -D             --boldtext              Use bold instead of reverse video text
[root@smetest ~]# It has nothing to do with writing CMD/BAT files. You can use nano without the -D option for that as well, or pico or vi for that matter.

You can use any text editor, then use 'unix2dos'.

Good to hear there are other options as well.
