I am seeking a sample shell script that mass-produces plots from VERDI, with room for specifying color scale/map and variables of interest (for plotting) from many I/O API files. Thanks!

There are example scripts in the VERDI package under data/scripts.  
VERDI supports command line scripts and batch scripts. Additional information is available in [Chapter 17](https://github.com/CEMPD/VERDI/blob/master/doc/User_Manual/VERDI_ch17.md) and [Chapter 18](https://github.com/CEMPD/VERDI/blob/master/doc/User_Manual/VERDI_ch18.md) of the User manual.
