If you've installed Calibre on your PC you have what you need - the command line 'programs' will be installed - look in the Calibre2 directory - you'll see a bunch of files with black icons with three white dots - such as like 'ebook-convert.exe' - these are the Calibre command line programs.
Basically you run a calibre feature (such as conversion) from a command line (Terminal in Apple lingo) rather than via the gui. You can then wrap commands in scripts (AppleScript, Perl, Powershell, Bash, AutoIt - your choice). Your script would cycle through your library looking for say MOBI files, when it finds one it would apply a series of 'ebook-convert' commands to do each of the conversions you want.
Here is a recent thread with some sample conversion scripts ==>>
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=212142 If you do a search in the Calibre forum for 'scripts' and 'batch' etc you'll find more.
I suggest you create a small library to use in writing and testing the script. Once you have a satisfactory script then
backup your main library before you run your script against it.
