Multiple commands in declareGraphicsRule - how to do it?

Question

Although I'm not sure the graphicsRule below will do what I want, the main point is that it is not even generating the second eps file (epstool_tmp.eps) at all. What is going wrong?

Here's an example with tiger.eps:

\documentclass[compress]{beamer}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epstopdf}

\epstopdfDeclareGraphicsRule{.eps}{pdf}{.pdf}{%
  epstool --copy --bbox #1 --output epstool_tmp.eps;
  epstopdf epstool_tmp.eps \OutputFile
}


\begin{document}

\frame{\frametitle{Here is an image ... or not!}
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[height=0.85\textheight,width=0.53\textwidth]
{tiger.eps}
\end{center}
}
\end{document}

Answer 1

The syntax for epstopdf is wrong, the output file is given with option --outfile:

epstopdf epstool_tmp./eps --outfile \OutputFile

Also you need option -shell-escape for pdflatex, because several commands in one command line are not allowed with restricted shell escape. epstool is not in the default list of commands, which is allowed for restricted shell escape, see variable shell_escape_commands in texmf.cnf.
