Below is a shell script I use for plotting. Note, that it uses
ferret -batch which produces one postscript file. As I understand
the various batch options you can create only one postscript file
with ferret -batch but a couple of gif files with ferret -f

'hope that helps still a little.

This shell script (ferretcallps) is called with three arguments:
$1 the *.jnl script to run
$2 an argument for the *jnl script
$3 the postscript file



#!/bin/csh
cd  /export/home2/tmp/jasedy/lastdata
 
rm $3*

echo go $1 $2 > pc
echo quit >> pc
 
setenv FER_DIR /opt/ferret.4.9
source $FER_DIR/ferret_paths > /dev/null
Faddpath /export/home2/tmp/jasedy/lastdata > /dev/null
 
ferret -batch $3 < pc >& /dev/null
 
rm ferret*.jnl*

exit



Here is how I call it:

csh $SCRIPTPATH/ferretcallps plotlastirgaday.jnl 20000405 irga.ps >
/dev/null
