Running Apple instruments for Automation from Terminal

How can I run apple instruments for iOS automation (iPhone/iPad) from the command line? I saw some blogs which said the below command

instruments -w -t /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Instruments/PlugIns/AutomationInstrument.bundle/Contents/Resources/Automation.tracetemplate -e UIASCRIPT

I have not been able to get this running.

Has anyone got this running?
Can you please share the steps if you are running it from terminal already?

Broken out by parameter for easier reading:

mkdir TestResults

instruments
-D TestResults/TestTrace/theTrace.trace 
-t /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Instruments/PlugIns/AutomationInstrument.bundle/Contents/Resources/Automation.tracetemplate 
/Absolute/Path/to/built/app/For/Simulator/AppName.app
-e UIARESULTSPATH TestResults/ 
-e UIASCRIPT Tests/some_test_file.js
