Quiet mode for pdfLaTeX in emacs

Question

I've begun to use emacs as a pdfLaTeX writer/compiler, which is just brilliant.

However, whenever I execute TeX file (C-c C-f), which currently executes the following:

(setq latex-run-command "pdflatex")

I get an awful lot of verbose output from pdfLaTeX.

Is there a way to change this behaviour? I thought of (setq latex-run-command "pdflatex -interaction=batchmode") but this doesn't seem to do the trick.

When doing LaTex in emacs you should use the package named AUCTeX. This fixes your problem and has a lot of extra functionality.
