How to launch an arduino script via the command prompt (cmd)

Question

I'm not sure if this is even possible, but does anyone know how to launch an arduino script (.ino) from the cmd? I've already made a .bat script that opens the arduino application:

cd\
cd Users\student\Desktop\Me\etch a sketch\StandardFirmata
StandardFirmata.ino

but it doesn't actually run the program. Help?

Have you tried the `start` command (type `start /?` for help)? — aschipfl, Jul 22 '15 at 19:22
@aschipfl that opens the arduino application (which contains the script), but doesn't run the script itself — bard ofshipping, Jul 22 '15 at 19:26

I overcame this problem by uploading my code to Arduino then reading serial port and I used this code to send serial commands from my cmd. just save this code as .bat and notice that I am using com6 if you are using something different make sure to change it in the code.

mode com6:9600,N,8,1
@echo off
:start
cls
Set /p commands="enter command:"
echo|set /p= %commands% >com6
goto start
