Hi all, I would like to run Magic batch jobs, but I can't find out how to load a command file to Magic, nor how to suppress the graphics windows. My workaround at the moment is to write my command script to the file .magic, so that running Magic executes my command script. But this could be dangerous and I would prefer to run the script from a file name of my choosing. Can anyone advise? When the job runs, the screen is full of dancing windows which I would prefer to suppress. Is this possible? On old (and maybe new) Mentor Graphics systems, both batch jobs and window suppression could be done by input redirection. For magic, the syntax for my example would be: magic -Tvsc200 <<! ;cif read fred.cif ;load fred ;drc catchup ;save ;exit ! Mentor users were always running jobs like this, so it's a strong feature to have. I couldn't find documentation about the command exit used above. I discovered it by trial and error. For scripting, it is needed in order to avoid having to answer pop-up windows generated by the use of quit. Am I missing this doc, or is it one of the undocumented features of Magic?
