If you start ax32.exe with -startupcmd you can use this to automate some tasks.
Like for instance this command will perform a full compile of all elements in AX.
ax32.exe -startupcmd=CompileAll
Here is a full list of all the startupcmd parameters in AX2009 and AX2012.
The code that controls this can be found in Class SysStartupCmd method construct.
You can also add your own commands by adding them to this method.
