P: Command line option to automatically upgrade catalogs and then quit

I'd really love to see a way of automating the upgrading of catalogs.  It's twice this year this has needed to occur (13.4, and now 14).

 

I have a LOT of catalogs. I'm part way through upgrading them to v14 and have done 70 catalogs so far, with probably 50 to go.

 

Opening each one which takes probably 10 seconds to get to the dialog where you then need to confirm that you want to upgrade, wait for it to upgrade (minutes), then quit, then move to the next one is laboriously slow and tedious.

 

It would be great to have a command line where I could add in the catalog name/path and some upgrade parameter and it to automatically do the magic, quit.

 

I could quickly build this into a script (I'm on Mac - so BASH) with 100's of lines with each one calling the upgrade which would then invoke, do the upgrade, quit, and then do the next one in the script, etc.  This means I could do it all unattended overnight / break it into pieces, whatever suits me.
