With --nodummy I can check if the output file is present. That

insufficient.

Sounds like a bug in the viewer. But let's better not talk about PDF

I guess I'll create a wrapper script to check a successful run by
examining the return value + creation of the output file. That
should cover it. Thanks for your input.
