> #### Running a batch installation

> The syntax for running the Fathom installation utility in batch mode follows:

>     fathom-mount-point/proinst -b pathname/filename.ini
>     -l pathname/filename.log

> In the syntax above, fathom-mount-point refers to the directory where the Fathom installation utility, the installation support files, and the archive files can be found.

> For example, a typical batch installation command might be:

>     proinst -b /test/install.ini -l /log/test.log

> If no installation`.ini` file is specified as the argument to the `-b` option, the Fathom installation utility searches the current directory for the default file, `install.ini`. If no `install.ini` file is found, the batch installation fails.

> All error messages are redirected to a log file. You can specify a log filename as an argument to the `-l` option. If no filename is specified for the log file, errors are redirected to the default log filename `install.log`. If no directory is specified for the log file, the installation utility checks the TMP, TEMP, and TMPDIR environment variables. The installation utility writes the log file to the first valid directory that it finds defined in those variables.
