Summary description: Fully automated LaTeX document generation routine V. 4.07
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
This version contains a couple of improvements: It corrects the problem that a ctrl/C used to exit from preview-continuous mode always also killed any script used to call latexmk. It deals better with case that a run of (pdf)latex does not produce the expected dvi or pdf file.
This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/latexmk . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/latexmk (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

latexmk – Fully automated LaTeX document generation
Latexmk completely automates the process of generating a LaTeX document. Given the source files for a document, latexmk issues the appropriate sequence of commands to generate a .dvi, .ps, .pdf or hardcopy version of the document.
An important feature is the “preview continuous mode”, where the script watches all of the source files (primary file and included TeX and graphics files), and reruns LaTeX, etc., whenever a source file has changed. Thus a previewer can offer a display of the document’s latest state.
