What kind of script are you referring to? If it is Perl or something, you
may use it (with a few adjustments, likely) on NT as well as on Linux -
you can install a Perl interpreter on the NT box. But if it is a shell
script, I think you are out of luck... For such applications, NT uses the
infamous NT batch "language" which is roughly based upon the capabilities
of MS-DOS (with only a few pluses).

Can you be more specific about your script? There's a chance I may be able
to help, because I have some experience with scripting for NT and also for
Linux (but more so with the former, than with the latter).
