Thanks Carl! That's still valid on current versions of mged too, and one of several scripting techniques demonstrated in the SGI Cube example on the wiki:
http://brlcad.org/wiki/SGI_Cube mged's simple scriptability is a strength, one that can be put to use in a lot of powerful ways including scripting from arbitrary languages. Some of the ways you can feed mged commands: 1) pipe commands echo "tops" | mged -c test.g 2) redirect input from a script mged -c test.g < myscript 3) use a here document cat <<EOF | mged -c test.g tops e all.g EOF 4) issue one command mged -c test.g make sph.s sph 5) issue multiple commands mged -c test.g "make sph.s sph ; e sph.s ; rt" 6) read scripts via 'source' command mged -c test.g source myscript Cheers!
