batch mode

batch mode

[Aditya Mahajan]

--batch --interaction=batch does not always process file in batch 
mode, while internally running mp.

\starttext
\startMPpage
   draw path ;
\stopMPpage
\stoptext

texmfstart texexec.rb --batch --interaction=batchmode --pdf test

should not stop at the error. However it does. Running ConTeXt  ver:

Realized that the correct method to run it is
texmfstart texexec --batch --nonstopmode

Is --batch redundant here?

No, they are separate options, use:

   texmfstart texexec --batch
or
   texmfstart texexec --nonstopmode

The first has no terminal output, the second does.
(cf. \batchmode and \nonstopmode).  texexec does
not interpret --interaction at all, but maybe this works:

   texmfstart texexec.rb --passon='--interaction=batchmode'

Nope. texexec.rb does not honour --passon. A quick search of "passon"
in all sources just returns mptopdf.pl texexec.pl and texutil.pl

With texmfstart --verbose texexec --passon='--interaction=nonstopmode' 
-- verbose test, I get

using 'system' call: ruby 
e:/isoimage/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-local/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb 
--verbose --passon=--interaction=nonstopmode test

>>>>>>>>>>>Notice there are no quote around passon arguments.<<<<<<<<

TeXExec | running: pdfetex -progname=context -fmt=cont-en 
-translate-file=natural.tcx  test.tex \emergencyend

>>>>>>>>>>>> passon arguments not passed <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

and in the log file

system(mpost  -progname=metafun -mem=metafun test-mpgraph)...executed.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>Again passon argument not passed <<<<<<<<<<<<<


I need this to properly set makeprg for context in vim. Vim expects 
that the compiler will not run in an interactive manner.

Adding a \nonstopmode on the top of the file works correctly. That is, 
it calls mpost with -int=nonstopmode.

What is texexec equivalent of 'latex \\nonstopmode \\input file'

calling 'texmfstart texexec \\nonstopmode \\input file' treats the 
inputs as two files.
