Custom Link to run batch APEX job?

I have a very simple command that I plug into the Develope Console and it works great. 
batchMaintenanceCalculator b = new batchMaintenanceCalculator();
    database.executeBatch(b,25);
I'ld like to figure out a way that I can create a url that will do the same.  So other users can execute without the Developer Console

You can batch job below java scipt button.


{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/29.0/connection.js")}
 {!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/29.0/apex.js")}
  var scr="batchMaintenanceCalculator c = new batchMaintenanceCalculator (); " +
         " Database.executeBatch(c, 5); ";
  var result = sforce.apex.executeAnonymous(scr);
   alert("The Batch is Running");

Please let us know if this will help you.

Hello 

I never tried this. But just a thought.

Create a simple VF page like below 
<apex:page controller="BatchMaintenanceCalculatorExecute" action={!runBatchMaintenance}>
</apex:page>

Create BatchMaintenanceCalculatorExecute class 
public class BatchMaintenanceCalculatorExecute {
	public PageReference runBatchMaintenance() {
		batchMaintenanceCalculator b = new batchMaintenanceCalculator(); 
		​database.executeBatch(b,25);
	}
}

Now you have two options to run this

1) Create a Visualforce Tab for above VF page and grant the tab premission to the profiles
2) Create a Custom Link  Setup->Customize->Home->Custom Link. Your VF page will be the Content Source for this Custom Link. Display this link in the sidebar component

Let me know if it helps.
