No it doesn't. I've made lots of shell and perl scripts that use it
without interaction.
% printf "show work list\nprint type:nsr group;name: default\n" |
nsradmin -i - | <perl script that parses the output>

Run the job above. Have the perl script parse the output into
individual ietms remaining in the work list. Determine if all the
remaining jobs are indexes. Have a return code or output based on that.
The nsradmin output is formatted funny sometimes, so the parsing isn't
as trivial as a grep, but it's not too difficult.
