I am running a Mathematica code inside a shell script, using math -script <filename>.m. But after the script finish its run, I get a duplicate (or backup?) file <filename>.mn . Why is such a file being generated? Is there a way to prevent that?

  • I cant reproduce. You should provide system details, and check that this happens with a very simple script that you can post. – george2079 Jun 15 '17 at 13:56

I think it may be related to the Global option for AutoGeneratedPackage.

From interactive Mathematica go to

Format -> Options Inspector

Use the pulldown to set Show option values to Global Preferences

Select

Notebook Options -> File Options -> AutoGeneratePackage -> None
