# Issues in Batch Scripting

Scripts can be run in batch mode from a shell or command prompt window, without invoking the interface. This is also known as command line scripting. You can specify the procedure to run, as well as supply any necessary arguments. Before running a script in batch mode, you may need to prepare it first.
