Running Houdini "headless" with a file and a script?

[easythrees 0]

Hi all, I have a script that can do some cooking and timing in Houdini. However, right now I can only run it in UI mode. Is it possible to run my script using the houdini command line? Something like:

houdini -batch -file "somefile.hip" - script "somescript.py"

Sure. Link to help. Basically: 

hython script.py [optional params]

where script looks like:

import hou
hou.hipFile.load("myscene.hip")
...
