   You'll have to address this to a Linux user, as I'm not one. I know that   
   between.bat is called by DOS and/or Win when it is set up in the config   
   area of an event. There is also a config in an event you can answer yes/no   
   to, answering yes to "Must be Run" makes Irex run that event and   
   between.bat, if it's called for.
