If you invoke the Mathematica kernel with the command line flag
"-batchoutput", this will set the session variable $BatchOutput to
True.
Here is the contents of an input file for a batch operation:
AppendTo[$Echo, "stdout"]
$BatchOutput
Here is the command line invocation of the kernel:
math -batchoutput < infile > outfile
Here is the contents of outfile after execution:
" Cannot initialize Motif graphics "
{"stdout"}
$BatchOutput
True
