Automating Quartus Simulation

I have been reading some of the literature available in relation to scripting (both Tcl & Command-Line based) with Quartus but I can't see the wood from the trees. What I am trying to do is use the command line to open an existing project called say 'MyProject', compile it, generate a functional simultion netlist, perform a functional simulation and export the report as a .tbl file. Is this straightforward? Ideally I will have these commans in a batch file so the simulations are carried out over night, the results saved so I can review them in the morning.
