Yep. Before starting GNU batch you adjust the $PATH to include /product/recent. 
The symbolic link /product/recent will point to the actual version it should 
find and can be adjusted when a new version is available. No need to reload any 
environment.

BTW: for documentation reason you might want to include a line in your script 
like:

echo $(readlink -f $(dirname $0))

which will output the physical path, not the symbolic one, and so it's clear 
what version of the script was used for this run.
