Batch file that calls a vsim command

Here's a snippet from my Makefile.vsim that runs through a list of testbench files ...

.PHONY: check
check: $(CONTROL_TEST_LIB_DONE)
	@cd $(CONTROL_TEST_DIR); 
	rm -f exitstatus; 
	for check in $(control_test_CHECKS); do 
		echo -n "TEST: $$check"; 
		$(VSIM) $(VSIM_ARGS) -c control_test.$$check -gmakecheck=1 
		-do "run -a; q" &> $$check.log; 
		if ; then 
			if ; then 
				echo -e "\rFAIL: $$check (see $$check.log)"; 
				rm exitstatus; 
				exit 1; 
			else 
				echo -e "\rPASS: $$check"; 
				rm exitstatus; 
			fi; 
		else 
			echo -e "\rFAIL: $$check. `pwd`/exitstatus file not found. Check the testbench."; 
			exit 1; 
		fi; 
	done

The important bit for a testbench named testbench_tb would be ...

vsim -c control_test.testbench_tb -gmakecheck=1 -do "run -a; q" &> testbench_tb.log;

This loads the testbench that was compiled into the library control_test, sets the generic makecheck to 1 (which I use inside the testbench), runs the testbench to completion, and then "quits".

As commented above, the bit you are missing is the quit command.

Cheers,
