Use ImageReady, which comes with Photoshop. Select Image|Image Size, then in the image size dialog click "Action Options". You will see a pull down list in which one of the options is "Width and Height". Choose the width and height option, and also click the "Do not enlarge" checkbox. Then, in the image dimensions, type the max resolution for width and height. In your case, you would type 600 for both width and height. When you click ok, this will cause ImageReady to resize your image to 600px on the longest edge, whether that is height or width. To to this to a batch of pictures, simply record the procedure as a batch action, and save it as a "droplet". In the droplet creation dialog, there are options that allow you to control where to put the resulting images, how to handle naming conflicts, etc. What I do is to create the droplet so that the resulting images are saved into whatever directory the droplet is in. So, I just copy the droplet wherever I want to save my resized images. Finally, you simply drag your images and drop them onto the droplet file itself and ImageReady takes care of the rest. BTW, these instructions are for Photoshop/ImageReady 7 for OS X.
