Batch Processing
I'd like to separate "Batch" / "Batch Processing" from "Batch operating system".
Rationale:
There is batch processing in a lot of interactive operating systems (e.g. in VMS), too.
The last sentence in page "Batch":
"With the advent of time-sharing and virtual memory, all modern OS's tend to have the capability to run jobs in batch mode, and so specialized batch OS's have now faded out."
is not enough I think.
There should be more about batch processing in interactive operating systems resp. batch processing in general.
