Title: Using Nano to Edit scripts for Windows
Post by: billi on June 14, 2010, 01:20:13 PM: 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.

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.
