... the whole fitprogram

To run NMSRFIT automatically you have to create a command file that contains all the commands which are necessary to run NMSRFIT. It can look like the following one (here this file is named FIP.COM):

$NMSR                               !Command to start the programm
@ini_filename.i                     !Call for the inifile
ind_var                             !Command after GUESS> to define
name, value. -err, +err             !the independent variable
				    !empty line !!!
simp                                !MINUIT commands

exit                                !leaving MINUIT

[EOB]

You can add all the commands you want NMSRFIT to do. But be careful with the number of empty lines between different commands! They have to be correct, otherwise the commandfile will fail.
             
You can also create a commandfile that first edits the initialfile so you can make the changes you want (e.g. change of the runnumber) then after having closed the initialfile starts NMSRFIT automatically by calling for the program FIP.COM. After having finished the fitprogram the results are added to a prepared db-file and the db-file is then edited so you can insert the independent variable.

Comment: Remember that the independent variable can already be defined in the fitroutine. You can add the IND_VAR command (see IND_VAR) in the command file which is running the program then you don't have to edit the db-file.

        
Here's an example:

$ DEFINE/USER SYS$INPUT SYS$COMMAND
$ EDIT FILENAME.I
$!
$ @FIP.COM
$ COPY DB_FILENAME.DB+INI_FILENAME.A   DB_FILENAME.DB
$ DEFINE/USER SYS$INPUT SYS$COMMAND
$ EDIT DB_FILENAME.DB
$ EXIT
