I decided to try creating some command files to simplify administration:

I was surprised that this did not work:

% cat foo.bsx

CREATE DB test

ADD TO embedded.xml <root>embedded</root>

# run query

XQUERY <hits>{ count(//text()) }</hits>

CLOSE

% basex foo.bsx

Stopped at /.../foo.bsx, 1/9:

[XPST0003] Unexpected end of query: 'DB test...'.

I think the suffix of the file needs to be ".bxs" to be treated as a command sequence, otherwise it is treated as XQuery code. So you have the wrong file suffix.
