wine users - Jun 2010 - Executing bat file in Wine from bash shell

I run OS X, and I want to execute a bat file in Wine from within a shell script.
Is there a way to do this? Can Wine accept a path to an executable/bat file as
an argument?

And can this be done without having to open and close Wine each time the build
process is initiated? I'd like to use a currently running Wine instance, if
there is one.

have you tried...

wine cmd batchfile.bat

I'm not sure why you'd want to run a batch file, there has to be an
easier way to do what you want.
