texexec command line parameters (help)

texexec command line parameters (help)

[w.neimeijer]

I am experimenting with the various texexec command line options,
but it is a bit confusing.

I want to minimize the number of runs and suppress as much of the messages
as possible.

I tried (windows standalone context) :

1) texmfstart --pdf --runs=1 --silentmode texfile.tex

This still gave 3 runs with all the Context messages displayed.

After a bit of experimenting it turns out that I have to use

2) texmfstart --pdf texfile.tex --runs=1 --silentmode

It works, but I am not sure what the correct way is for the other options.
The manual mtexexec.pdf (a bit outdated) says I have to use method 1).
Also the Wiki page http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeXExec suggest method 1).
Running texexec --help --all does not mention the order in which these
parameters should be specified.

TIA

Wim Neimeijer

texmfstart --once --silentmode texfile.tex

PDF output is default since 2006(?)
