I suspect that what you want to do is to create a file something like the
following:
#!/bin/csh
idl << done
... IDL commands ...
done
You can then submit this to run as a batch job. I use
nice at -c -f MYFILENAME now
so that the background job will run at lower priority. In fact, I set this up
as an alias with the C-shell command
alias submit 'nice at -c -f \!* now'
so that all I have to do is say "submit" followed by the filename.
