latexmk is a commandline tool like rubber and like latex

I tend to use latexmk is a continous preview mode, i.e. it will 
automatically compile my document as soon as I save it. THen I don't 
have to press any extra keys or buttons.

If configured correctly, it will not stop at an error (requiring user 
intervention), just stop and wait for the next save.
