[OS X TeX] how imitate TeXShop's pdflatexmk from command line

[Murray Eisenberg]

Yes, I have been using the "% !TEX parameter = -interaction=batchmode”, and so far no freezes when I’m using the pdflatexmk engine.
(I’ve been waiting to report back to make sure this was a — temporary, I hope — work-around to the freezing.)

However, with that directive in place, if I use the latex engine rather than pdflatemk, then all the usual output is written to the console, and at times I still get a freeze with that.
