Re: run Ferret in batch mode with arguments

Tony, setting up a shell script as follows works for me in Ferret, in general.

#!/bin/sh
# In each directectory, execute shell commands,
# run ferret with various ferret commands,
# exit Ferret, and run more shell commands.
# Repeat as necessary.

cd route_dir

#******
cd new_dir1
#Insert any shell commands you wish, such as ls, etc.

ferret << eof
! Place your Ferret commands here, end with eof
go my_journal.jnl
sh data
exit
eof
cd ../

#*****

# run more tasks like that above.
