Don't run your program from the command line, run it from a script
file that you load via the -x command-line switch.  In that script,
put the "set startup-with-shell on" command first, then your "run"
command with the arguments for the program you want to debug.

(Why do you run GDB with -batch, btw?  GDB is an interactive debugger,
so you should have a way of interacting with it.)
