Running "imagej -batch Random_Ovals" from the command line does not appear to do anything because -batch runs a macro in batch mode, and images are not displayed in batch mode. Instead, use "imagej -macro Random_Ovals". "imagej -batch Random_Ovals.class" does not work because -batch only runs macros. Instead, use "imagej -run "Random Ovals". All of the ImageJ command line options are described at
