[Paraview] Pause in batch script

[Nicholas Pedersen]

Hi,

I would like ParaView to act as visualizer for a transient CFD simulation
'on-the-run', that is ParaView should load results files in Ensgiht format
as soon as they appear in a specified data directory.

For this means I could follow at least two different approaches:
a) write a batch script that calls Paraview once but includes a 'pause'
function waiting for new files to appear before proceeding. How do I
accomplish this file testing _inside_ a *.pvs script?

b) make the file testing outside paraview and then launch a *.pvs script
telling Paraview to update the plot. How do l invoke a *.pvs script on an
_existing_ Paraview session?

Regards,

Nicholas
