I have a file test.tex
with these contents:
\input{missing}
\input{present}
When I run PDFLaTeX with --interaction=nonstopmode
it stops after the first missing input file:
$ pdflatex --interaction=nonstopmode test
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.1415926-1.40.9 (Web2C 7.5.7)
%&-line parsing enabled.

How can I make PDFLaTeX continue even when missing.tex
is not there? I would like to do this with either command-line options or code I can put at the beginning of any arbitrary source file, not changing the body of the source file.
