You have to use the dsjob command. The path for the command is $DSHOME/bin. dsjob -run -mode NORMAL runs the job and dsjob -run -mode RESET resets an aborted job.
See the options which dsjob gives for more options.

Or the chapter in the Server Job Developer's Guide that documents the Command Line Interface.

One thing to keep in mind, dsjob will initiate the job, but won't wait around for it to finish. I use subsequent commands to get the current jobinfo until the job finishes and sleep in between commands.
"dsjob -jobinfo $PROJECT_FOLDER $JOBNAME"
"dsjob -jobinfo $PROJECT_FOLDER $JOBNAME"

Sure it will - if you tell it to.
There's a -WAIT and a -JOBSTATUS option, depending on what you want passed back when it is done.
