A batch job is a program that is assigned to the computer to run without further user interaction. Example of batch job in a PC is a printing request. In larger commercial computers or servers, batch jobs are usually initiated by a system user. 

A batch file is a kind of script file in DOS, OS/2 and Windows. It consists of a series of commands to be executed by the command line interpreter, stored in a plain text file. A batch file may contain any command the interpreter accepts interactively and use constructs that enable conditional branching and looping within the batch file, such as "if", "for", "goto" and labels. The term "batch" is from batch processing, meaning "non-interactive execution", though a batch file may not process a batch of multiple data.
