Synchronize the iDisk from the command line

I've been experimenting alot with Perl lately, and was looking for a way to synchronize my iDisk via the command line, or with an AppleScript. I scoured the web for such a technique, but to no avail. I knew that the MirrorAgent process was in charge of the synch, so I tried the following:

 killall -ALRM MirrorAgent
Sure enough, the process suddenly came to life, and my local iDisk synched with the server! You can view the progress by having the ~/Library -> Logs -> MirrorAgent.log file open while typing the command.
