I am unable to put the -pvc (preview continuously) and -c (clean up) options together for latexmk.

latexmk -pdf -pvc -c file.tex

My observation: After giving -c option, the file gets compiled, (regeneratable) files are deleted and I am back to the command prompt.

Is it possible to achieve this?

  I'm not quite understanding. -pvc implies continuous compilation, which needs the auxiliary files, which means they can't be deleted. Or are you wanting the auxiliary files to be regenerated whenever you make a change? Why not just leave them around?

  @Teepeemm This is precisely I want! I would like to regenerate all auxiliary files every time src file.tex is updated. and get deleted upon successful compilation. I need this as I have some restrictions on bandwidth and filesystem in terms of number of files. (Weird, huh?)

You can write a small shell script:

f=/tmp/$$.tmp

touch $f

src=foo.tex

src="$1";

echo -e "$src -- $fn";



while true

do

    if [ ${src} -nt ${f} ];

    then

        echo "File modified";

        latexmk -c ${src}

        sleep 5;

    fi;

    touch ${f};

    sleep 5;    # This is essential.

done

  If one has to use bash script, why use latexmk in that case? Just put pdflatex, followed by rm -f commands... I believe this can be achieved with the power of latexmk.

  @MikeV.D.C. latexmk can do much more than just a single rub of pdflatex - e.g. it will repeatedly compile the document until all the cross references, tables of contents, indexes, etc, are self-consistent, but only do the minimum number of recompiles to reach that state. (That's why it seems pointless to me to delete all the auxiliary files every time you run latexmk - it is just making latexmk work harder for no obvious reason).

  @Teepeemm, I suspect that @user5325 is using some *nix system (e.g. ubuntu). So the default previewer (e.g. evince on ubuntu), once opened, automatically update the document on every change. Thus achieving -pvc.
