My perfect Latex-to-PDF script. Clean output and also compiles bibtex references.

pdf.sh

#!/bin/bash
# TEXNAME='${echo $1 | egrep -o "^([^.]*)"}'
TEXNAME=$(echo $1 | egrep -wo "^([^.]*)") # Strip up to first extension
echo $TEXNAME
cd $(dirname "$TEXNAME")

PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2014/bin/x86_64-darwin:$PATH

pdflatex -interaction=batchmode "$TEXNAME.tex"
echo ""
bibtex "$TEXNAME.aux"
echo ""
OUTPUT="$(pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode "$TEXNAME.tex" | egrep 'LaTeX (Error|Warning): ')"
echo "${OUTPUT}"

if echo "${OUTPUT}" | grep -q 'Rerun to get cross-references right.'; then
  echo ""
  echo "Running Latex again to get cross-references"
  pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode "$TEXNAME.tex" | grep 'LaTeX Warning: '
fi

open "$TEXNAME.pdf"

Usage is "./pdf.sh main.tex" or "./pdf.sh main." or "./pdf.sh main" or "./pdf.sh main.ThisIsStripped"
