You can use the osascript utility.

Here's the intro to the utility, using man osascript:

OSASCRIPT(1)              BSD General Commands Manual             OSASCRIPT(1)

NAME
   osascript -- execute AppleScripts and other OSA language scripts

SYNOPSIS
   osascript [-l language] [-s flags] [-e statement | programfile] [argument ...]

DESCRIPTION
   osascript executes the given script.  It was designed for use with AppleScript,
   but will work with any Open Scripting Architecture (OSA) language. 
   ...
