bpstart_notify & bpend_notify for Unix & Linux

I have a Windows master server but also have some Unix clients I want to execute the bpstart_notifiy and bpend_notifiy scripts. Unfortunately I don't have copies of the shell scripts on my master server because it is Windows and it only has copies of the .bat/cmd files.

Coould some kind soul post copies of the vanilla bpstart_notify and bpend_notify Unix shell scripts please? I'd like to avoid completely re-inventing the wheel!

 

Thanks

Thanks for that, but I know how to use the scripts, I just want copies of the scripts for Unix, not Windows. Neither of those links is helpful in that regard.
