Yep that is what we are doing - using RR and the farm - we are passing .sh files with scene, model to cache etc.. and xsibatch does the stuff for us.
You could as you say build a batch file to do the same thing - one scene/or cache job at a time in sequence - then run it - no GUI needed. Is that what you meant?

Put together a two lines script that runs the sim and saves in place, and then run a shell script, a cron job, or whatever you use for running jobs that iterates a set of scenes in batch. Using a graphic client to open, simulate and save a number of potentially heavy scenes in sequence is not as ideal as having one instance per scene with no GUI crud.

Hopefully this isn't being done in a GUI client :) -- Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it! Ship it and let them flee like the dogs they are!
