:is it possible to give mathematica command line instructions? something
:like:
sure...
:math << 'Plot[ Sin[x], {x,0,2*Pi} ]'
for starters the "unix" for reading from stdin is a single "<"
(only within mathematica you use two..)
now put your commands in a file, and run math with the file as stdin.
math < file > output &
Unfortuantely if you put a sequence of commands into the file
mathematica will only send the result of the last one to stdout,
so if you want to record everything you need to use mathematica
commands in your script to write what you want to an output file..
It would be real nice if you could batch execute a notebook,
but that doesn't seem possable..
