This may not be the most elegant way, but it should work. First, make
all the cells to be executed into Initialization cells. To do this,
look under the Style menu for the Attributes item. Then cd to the
directory of the notebook and type
math -batchoutput -run "<<Notes.ma" <<! >& math.out &
Quit
!
This will simply execute all your initialization cells and then Quit.
Any output is send to math.out. To output a PS file, I just the
command PSFile, which is defined by
System`PSFile::usage =
"PSFile[file,-graphics-] sends the postscript version of graphics to a file."
Begin["System`Private`"]
PSFile[file_String,x_] := ( Display[ToString[StringForm["!psfix > ``", file]], x]; x )
End[]
