Try using iag30 (or iag) -ot form_name username/password

The -ot switch will suppress the output to the terminal and suppress making a new inp file (this is not necessary for re-generation).

I don't why we do not support re-generating forms in a batch like process. It is a perfectly harmless thing to do, and is done often.
