Command line syntax for batch exectution of a jnl file

["Jennifer M. Adams" <jma@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Everybody --
 
This must be a simple syntax issue, but I haven't been able to find
anything in the documentation, and I'm having trouble accessing the mail
archives and the FAQ web pages at the moment. 

Here's my question: 
In a single shell command, I would like to fire up Ferret and tell it to
run a script and then quit. I imagine it would look something like this:

unix_prompt> ferret -batch -go "my_script.jnl" 

my_script.jnl opens a flat binary file and writes out a NetCDF file. No
images or postscript involved. I put a 'quit' at the end of
my_script.jnl, so that when ferret is done, I will get my unix_prompt
back again. How do I set this up? 

Thanks!
Jennifer
