That was a joke, probably only understood by the older people here. He was referring to old DOS command files, which had the ending .bat. Don't think too hard about it. He probably made it because you put a dot in front of "BAT" in the thread title.

Lol OK

Actually .bat files haven't been called CMD files all that long.  The .bat extension is derived from the word batch which is the same as an unattended script designed to run several commands without intervention usually in an alternate copy of the console.  Here is an example:

 

#!/bin/bash
if test $1;
then lsb_release -rd;apt-cache policy $1;
else echo "You forgot the package parameter";
fi
 

FYI, I use this one when reporting bugs to the distributor of my version of Linux.

It's a bit of a shortcut. I still remember when one of our Mac guys was forced to use Windows the first time, with a fresh install. His final step was "to clean up all this mess the installation left in the root directory". And gone were command.com and autoexec.bat .

Well, I feel for people like that.  I've used so many different operating systems that I always proceed with caution (ever since I typed rm * in the root of a UNIX system I was setting up).  The first machines I used didn't even have a between job monitor let alone an operating system.  You sat at the console and toggled in the program.  There wasn't even an assembly program.

 

The command line processor in Linux is called a 'shell' and the console program (one of them) is called Xterm.  There are several shells and several terminal programs.  Xterm pretends to be a serial monitor.  You need to be careful on any *nix O/S because you are dealing with a Swiss army knife, and the unwary can get badly cut.

Ahhhh, the good old days, when you needed a well put together autoexec.bat file or you wouldn't have enough ram to start a game, or would not be able to have sound...

The first machine I ever programmed seriously had exactly 10,000 words (12-bits each) with a decimal addressed memory.  Believe it or not we had a COBOL-61 extended compiler for that beast, and Fortrash as well.  We did most of our work in assembler.  No operating system, just a between job monitor.  This machine (NCR 315) was the main processor for a Canadian chartered bank.  It ran clearing of over 1,000,000 cheques a day, and there was no Internet in existence at the time, so communications was pretty much non-existent.  You got to write your own device drivers.  The vendor provided magnetic media drivers (only) and some rather weak examples of the rest.
