Is there a way to put a file in the file queue from the command line. It
doesn't say anything in my documetation(possibly out of date?) and I can't
find anything on povray.org.

Thanks for your time.

No, not quite what I need... and isn't that redundant anyway: povray has an
abort and +c to continue or something I think(haven't ever used 'em tho').

You can ask its author for extending it for queue support (if possible)

As far as I understand quietpov is not retundant here. +c stops rendering
while quietpov pauses it in the background.

QuietPOV is mainly to keep the POV splash screen from popping up every time a render
is started from the command line.
The POV splash screen shows up the first time POV is launched, but after that it'll
stay nicely in the background.  This is
useful if you have applications (such as a render farm) spawn renders while other
people are using the computer.

Support could be added to QuietPOV to append things to the queue.  GUIEXTs have access
to the queue array, but at
the moment I have very little time to look into that.
