28-Mar-2023The batch operating system is a type of operating system that doesn't interact with the computer directly. Here, multiple programs are grouped together into a batch and they are executed in sequence without any manual intervention. The users submit their jobs to the system, and the system executes them automatically without any user intervention.
It consists of an operator who sorts similar jobs with similar requirements into batches. The operating system manages a queue of batch jobs and schedules them for processing based on priority, resource availability, and other factors.
Batch jobs are typically submitted to the operating system using a job control language that specifies the programs or commands to be executed, any necessary input and output files, and other job parameters.
