You probably want something like :
povengine /RENDER <filename> /NR /EXIT
Here is a copy of the docs from POV3.1 concerning this:
Special Command-Line Options
POV-Ray for Windows supports several special command-line options not
recognized by other versions.
The /DEMO command tells POV-Ray to run its demonstration render. All other
options on the command-line are ignored.
The /EXIT command tells POV-Ray to perform the render given by the other
command-line options, combined with previously-set options such as internal
command-line settings, INI file, source file, and so forth, and then to exit.
By default, if this switch is not present, POV-Ray for Windows will remain
running after the render is complete. This switch only applies to renders
started by other options on the command-line. It will not affect renders
started manually from within POV-Ray for Windows itself.
The /NR command (same as /NORESTORE) tells POV-Ray for Windows to not attempt
to restore any previous edit sessions (i.e. files that were open in the
editor). This is handy when you had a large number of files open and you don't
want them taking up time loading.
The /RENDER command tells POV-Ray for Windows to render the file following.
Only one /RENDER command is permitted on the command-line. Wildcards are not
permitted.
The /EDIT command causes POV-Ray to load the following file into an editor.
You can have multiple /EDIT commands on the command-line (with one file
per /EDIT command). The filenames may not contain wildcards.
Note that in all the above cases, if you are using an operating system that
supports long filenames (such as Windows 95), and the filename has spaces in
it, then you will need to enclose the filename itself within quotes.
If you do implement POV output, please consider setting a standard for user
POV command substitutions within .dat files. Lars Hassing Has some really
good ideas for DAT commands that could be made a standard.

| (...) <SNIP> Thanks, this helps a lot, but now there is one problem left: MLCad first creates the dat file to be converted, than calls L3P to convert it into pov and than it executes pov-ray with the above statement. If you do that for multiple (...) (25 years ago, 19-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| Hy, I'm currently writing an enhanced export function for MLCad and had the idea to include povray into the export process. My question: is there any way to start povray (for Windows 3.1) from the command-line to just generate a picture for an (...) (25 years ago, 18-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
