Re: Running a Ferret batch job from the shell

[Ansley Manke <ansley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Fred,
Yes, you can do this.  One way to send arguments to the Ferret
script is to write a Ferret script with those arguments and then
that to Ferret

shell-prompt%  echo "go script.jnl  in1 in2; exit" > s1.jnl
shell-prompt%  ferret < s1.jnl

Or use  ferret -batch or ferret -gif  to run without the x-server.
