Compile .ly via terminal in mac

[jrsv]

Hello forum,

I am new user of lilypond. I need to help out a friend compiling his scores.
We have setup a dropbox shared folder and I am preparing an automator action
in Mac to compile the files automatically via terminal.

so far I only manage to open the file with lilypond, meaning that when I
type 

/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/MacOS/LilyPond "file.ly" 

lilypond opens, 

question is: 

what would be the exact line to compile the file into a pdf??. Yes, I have
seen the documentation online but I cant seem to wrap my mind around it.

thank you for any help provided
