I tried it.  Renamed your file alt.run and copied one of my ini to alt.ini.
 I removed all of the references to plat and it came up fine for both my
minimill and the simulator.  I do get one unexpected report echoed.

-----terminal output-----
./alt.run > alt.txt
./alt.run: [: ==: binary operator expected
Current platform is linux_2_0_36
Current real-time platform is rtlinux_09J
inivar = plat/linux_2_0_36/bin/inivar
INIFILE = alt.ini
starting emc...
starting emcmotsim...done
starting simio...done
starting minimilltask...done
running tkemc...
-------------------------

The binary operator expected is the only response there that I don't
understand.

IMHO this run file would work great for those standard kinds of
installations that use one pair of platforms on a single computer.
