qsys-edit use in a script

I want to create a script that processes a qsys file without any windows being opened or interaction with qsys tool. I thought perhaps a command line (in Linux) of qsys-edit myqsysfile....

I have a qsys file. I want to script the equivalent of the following:

1. start quartus

2. select qsys from the tools pull down

3. open the .qsys file (that already exists)

4. generate HDL

5. quit

I have several sys files that this must be done to. I am creating the OpenCL Board Support Package and do not want any manual steps.

So I hoped there was a simple scripting solution. I see there is a qsys-script command, but I cannot figure out the TCL commands to do

what I describe above.
