Run a script from Make, headless.

This has come up for me a few times, and each time I found some other way around it. But I'm sure it's possible, I just havent found the incantation.

I want to run an AE script totally headless (no UI, no interaction).

The script might be something like, pseudo-code:

> open("my_project.aep");
> var data = readDataFile("./datafile.txt");
> setTextAndKeyFrames("comp1",data);
> renderMyMovie("comp1","./todaysHeadlines.mov");
> app.quit();

And I want to run it something like:

> afterEffects --script="./myScript.jsx"

I must be thick. But. What is the incantation for this?
