arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
batchRender is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT
editable.
The batchRender command is used to spawn off a separate rendering
session of the current maya file. If no mayaFile is specified,
it'll ask you whether you want the current job killed. The
batchRender will spawn a separate maya process in which commands
will be communicated to it through a commandPort. If Maya is unable
to find an available port an error will be produced. Maya will
attempt to use ports 7835 through 7844.
