MonkeyRunner cannot run on Git Shell. Receiving @echo: command not found

Question

I am trying to run Android's MonkeyRunner but having problems running it from my Git Shell.

When I run: monkeyrunner.bat it gives me this error.

$ monkeyrunner.bat
/c/AndroidSDK/tools/monkeyrunner.bat: line 1: @echo: command not found
/c/AndroidSDK/tools/monkeyrunner.bat: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/c/AndroidSDK/tools/monkeyrunner.bat: line 2: `rem Copyright (C) 2010 The Android Open Source Project'

How do I fix this? I tried running my script with it too but still same error.

Thanks in advance!

@ThorbjørnRavnAndersen Do you mean in the AndroidSDK/tools directory? There is no `monkeyrunner.sh`. — The Nomad, Mar 25 '15 at 01:09
That's a Windows batch file. It isn't going to work on a non-Windows machine. You need a shell script version of that file (this is what Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen was getting at). — Etan Reisner, Mar 25 '15 at 01:44
@EtanReisner ohhhh got it. Sorry I'm relatively inexperienced in Linux. Is there an easy way to convert a batch file to shell script? — The Nomad, Mar 25 '15 at 02:08
Not that I know of. You'd need to understand the script and know what the appropriate equivalents are to do that. — Etan Reisner, Mar 25 '15 at 02:10

The git-shell is a login shell for SSH accounts to provide restricted Git access.

It permits execution only of server-side Git commands implementing the pull/push functionality, plus custom commands present in a subdirectory named git-shell-commands in the user’s home directory.

Therefore, if you don't have monkeyrunner (notice, not .bat or .sh here) setup in the git-shell-commands you won't be able to run it.
