[Paraview] Script driven paraview

[Timothy Cale]

I would like to display a set of meshes that result from a (bash) script
driven set of simulations
and meshing steps.

I have written a script that does what I want (at least basically), if I
manually go into the paraview
gui and start the (Tools -->) Python Shell, then hit run script and select
the desired script.

In an attempt to automate the visialization, I wrote a bash script with the
two relevant lines being:

paraview &>/dev/null &
pvpython show_vtu.py

This generates non-persistent, non-interactive images that I expect -
though it would be good
to know if there is a way to make such images persistent and interactive.
(in addition to
starting paraview)

Question:  Is there a way to use such a script (bash, python called from
bash . . . ) to
start paraview, and use a script to visualize data in the gui?

Thanks,
Tim
