How can I run an org-mode command in a bash script please?

Specifically 'org-latex-export-to-latex'?

I'm developing my own modular script to choose between, at present, 3
tex files which have been pre-exported from org-mode. I'm now wondering
if its possible to export from the org-mode file as part of another
module in the script.

Can it be done, and if so, how please?

Thanks
Sharon.

I'm using this shell function for exporting certain documents to pdf:


orgexp()
{
    emacs  --batch -l ~/.emacs --eval \
           "(progn
             (setq org-latex-image-default-width \".4cm\"
                   org-export-allow-bind-keywords t
                   org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil)
             (find-file \"$1\")
             (org-latex-export-to-pdf))"
}


You probably don't want to set the variables, so for export to latex
this might work (i.e. I didn't test it):


org2latex()
{
    emacs  --batch -l ~/.emacs --eval \
           "(progn
             (find-file \"$1\")
             (org-latex-export-to-latex))"
}


If you put this in your .bashrc you can just use
    org2latex myfile.org
to export myfile.org to latex.

Best regards
Robert
