I don't see any command line flags to use GPUs for render in the CL help

Do you mean activating GPU from scene files?

so if I set the scene to use GPUs in the file, it will use them automatically when command line rendering?

actually, I just tried that and it doesn't stick. If you open the file again or try to command line render it after changing to OpenCL with GPU and saving, it will revert back to CPU rendering.

ok - got answer in email and verified this works. Use arg:

--settings "<gpu_path_tracing>true</gpu_path_tracing>"
