Can I execute a shell script from Wine ?

[BKirshte at kbtoys.com]

Thanks !  It works - I was able to run it from Lotus Notes !
Double-click still did not work for me in winefile, but if I do File | Run
it works ...
Thanks Rein for the help !

And is it really:
- a Linux shell script (first line is "#!/bin/sh, no CRLF line
separators )
- is it executable for you?

No messages on the terminal screen?

And the .bat extension might have side effects, to be at the safe side I
use .exe unless it is a DOS batch file.

It should. For testing I creted a small script:
=====================
#!/bin/sh
echo hello from Linux $0
=====================
and saved it in hello.sh
then made it executable:
chmod +x hello.sh
the I start winefile and double click the script. On the terminal screen
hello from Linux /home/rein/hello.sh
