Run a Snapshot agent from a script or cmdline

I would like to be able to run a snapshot agent from a TSQL script or
from a cmd line. I have merge replication setup to several different
publications and would like to script all of the snapshot agents to run
on cmd rather on a schedule. I am using SQL Server 2000 with SP3.
Thank You in advance.
You could use sp_start_job from TSQL, or use the activeX control if you want
the command-line control.
