You can do two things:
- in a buffer local variable set the compile command to mytex
filename and then use M-x compile
- but if your script is only for running latex as much as needed,
then bibtex, then latex again (and maybe switch between the dvi
and pdf path), do yourself a favour and use AUCTeX
(http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/). You won't look back.
OTH,
