that's a common problem when users change from hspice to ngspice. May be I am 
going to write a  FAQ and put it on my web page.

There are two possibilities when you use ngspice in batch mode:

1) Use on the command line:

ngspice -b <input-file.cir> -r <output-file.raw>


2) Use the write command together with the .control and .endc statement

More information can be found in the first lines of the  paragrph 5 
“Interpreter” in the Spice 3F5 Users Manual:

Please let me know, what your final solution will be.
