Yes, you can run the Unix versions of Mathematica in batch
mode. You can prepare a file with many lines of Mathematica
input and run it in Mathematica directing output to another
file. Here is an example shell command to run Mathematica in
batch mode:
math -batchoutput infile outfile.
Note this invokes just the Mathematica kernel and not the X
Front End.
For further details see Chapter 8 of the "Mathematica User's
Guide For the Unix Shell" which came with your copy of
Mathematica.
If you need further help with this I would suggest that you
contact Wolfram Research Technical Support (support at wri.com)
directly.
I hope this helps.
