`freeside-bill -c -i custnum' is equivalent to the `Bill now' link.

Umm, I suggest `freeside-bill -c'; no reason to run transactions real-time
if you're billing a batch.  Read the manpage for freeside-bill and
htdocs/docs/billing.html

It isn't.  I don't know where you got this idea, but I suggest you RTFM.

  -i is for real-time billing (as opposed to batch billing).  only
     relevant for credit cards

Kindly state your questions in some sort of readable English if you'd like
a response.
