I noticed someone hit my site from a Google search on this topic. my guess is they didn't find out what they needed, so I thought I 'd post a complete answer just in case someone else comes looking for it ..

From Michael fanning the dev lead for fxcop...

To invoke and run a project file from the command-line:

Fxcopcmd.exe/Project: myproject. fxcop/out: myreport. xml

To build up an analysis run specifying specific files:

Fxcopcmd.exe/file: myassembly. dll/rules:./RULES/out: myreport. xml

The file: switch can appear multiple times on a command-line. All switches can be abbreviated to their first letter, P instead of project, etc.
