I guess I didn't do all your homework for you ;). You could use this
idea to write a function called check_syntax, ala:

function check_syntax,routine
catch,err
if err ne 0 then return,err
resolve_routine,routine,/EITHER,/COMPILE_FULL_FILE
return,0
end

Then a batch file which uses this function, like do_check.pro:

;================
status=check_syntax((command_line_args())[0])
if status ne 0 then print,!ERROR_STATE.MSG
exit,STATUS=status
;================

then call, from your shell script:

idl -arg routine do_check.pro

and check the exit status. You might need to monkey IDL_PATH to ensure
it attempts to compile the correct version of the routine, like:

idl -IDL_PATH "$(pwd):+/other/libs:<IDL_DEFAULT>" -arg routine do_check.pro
