A shell script is UNIX terminology for a batch file, it is usually used on OS/2 to mean an 7 bit ASCII or less commonly 8 bit ISO plain text file with an ".sh" ending, that has a list of commands intended for batch execution in one of the UNIX derived shells, such as the C Shell (Csh), bash or bourne shells.
A shell by the way is UNIX terminology for a command line interface (CLI).
Note that while there is a high degree of commonality between shell scripts for the various UNIX or UNIX like CLI's and it is a good rule to try to write such scripts using only commands that all shells support, you will always encounter scripts from time to time that are tied to a specific shell implementation, either by use of commands not universally supported or by the use of environment variables that behave differently between different shell implementations.
