[OS X TeX] how imitate TeXShop's pdflatexmk from command line

[Murray Eisenberg]

(1) OK, I’ll have to live with the restriction of -interaction=batchmode to just pdflatexmk. But I do often need to do just a (pdf)latex run to check syntax, to proofread, etc.; so for that, when TeXShop gets finicky and freezes, as it sometimes does with my 600+ pages, I’ll have to resort to a Terminal command-line run of pdflatex.

(2) Is there a list of all the" % ! …". directives that TeXShop understands? I looked through the various help files and couldn’t find such.
