Running AutoCAD 2010 in Silent Mode

Hello, I want to run a batch file that will launch AutoCAD, run a program that will create some graphics, save and then exit AutoCAD. I'm sure this can be done, but I want to do it in Silent mode. The server it will run on has no monitor.
If it's possible, can someone tell me what the command ls?
Thanks,
Mark

Sorry, I wasn't very clear on this. I have a batch file that will launch AutoCad. AutoCad will then launch my program that will create a drawing, save it, then exit AutoCad.
What I need is the command(s) to launch AutoCad in silent mode.
Thanks

You may want to define "silent mode". You can run it minimized/UI hidden; 2013 version introduced command console which provides command-line only input with no GUI.
Minor point of contention: AutoCAD isn't supported to run on Server OS. It might work, but no guarantees and no support.
Edit: you may want to check the EULA as well.
If you are going to fly by the seat of your pants, expect friction burns.
