Well, neither of those turn the GUI off. All of them open a POV-ray 
editor window, do the render (visibly!) and then exit.

This way, rendering a hundred images requires me to either run 100 GUI 
instances, or run them one after the other. In both cases, my computer 
is completely unusable for quite some time while windows keep popping up.
