I'm not sure where you see a reference to `elasticsearch-certgen.bat` in the link that you shared with me, but all Elasticsearch CLI tools have relevant commands both for Windows and Linux based OS in the bin folder.

The equivalent of `elasticsearch-certgen.bat` for ubuntu would be `elasticsearch-certgen` which is located in the same directory.

If I may ask, why do you use such an old version of Elasticsearch ? Elasticsearch 7.3 was just released, you should try and use a more recent version than 6.3.
