It seems a bit weird but you have to generate a txt file in a format such as
log.toConsole true
scene.open "/Directory/Scenes/file.lxo" normal
pref.value render.threads auto
@ChangeRenderFrameRange 1 100
@ChangeRenderOutputPaths /Directory/Output/
render.animation {*}
app.quit

then run this command point to the text file (Mac OS X)
/Applications/modo.app/Contents/MacOS/modo_cl < renderfiles.txt

Not sure if there is a better way yet.
Thanks,
