A batch processing system is where programs or data are collected together in a batch and processed in one go. Typically the processing of payrolls, electricity bills, invoices and daily transactions are dealt with this way.
This method of operation lends itself to jobs with similar inputs, processing and outputs where no human intervention is needed. Jobs are stored in a queue until the computer is ready to deal with them. Often batch processed jobs are done overnight.
Multi-programming
------------------------
Multi-programming is a method of operating such that several programs appear to be running at once.
The jobs are usually given priorities. The operating system switches jobs in and out of processor time according to priority. For example, while one job is being allocated printer time, another will be being processed in memory. The processor is so fast that it seems that many jobs are being processed at the same time.
multiprogrammed batch system can run more than one program at the same time.-L
No. Linux can have several tasks and split resources between them. Linux would be considered a time-sharing system.
multiprogramming-there is no way for single user to keep either cpu or the io divices busy at all times...
Simple batch system used to for long times and they occupy the CPU even when they are actually not utilizing the CPU for example while doing the I/O operations. So the programmers thought it to be great idea if some other process can use the CPU when the previous process is idle. In multiprogrammed batch systems one user can run multiple programs and which gets the CPU whenever the CPU is idle. So it speeds up the process completion.
Differentiate between Simple Batch Operating Systems and Time-sharing Operating Systems
Explain the key characteristics of the following forms of operating systems i) Batch

There are basically four types of operating systems. They include Batch Operating System, Multiprogramming Operating System, Network Operating System and Distributed Operating System.
Yes technically.
1. BATCH PROCESSING operating system 2. MULTIPROGRAMMING operating system 3. TIME SHARING operating system 4. REAL TIME operating system 5. DISTRIBUTED operating system
Batch operating systems group together similar IPs into batches. The OS then runs processes on these IPs based on their characteristics.
