Sure, here's a sample command line I used earlier today to create a job:

./atest job create --machine 1*<platform label> --control-file <local file>

This will create a job on one machine using the specified control file. You
can also specify --dependencies to require additional labels on the
scheduling. Say if you wanted to create a job on only x86-generic hosts with
the foobar label:

./atest job create --machine 1*x86-generic --control-file <local file>
--dependencies foobar

I always assumed there was some doc for this, I however arrived at this
through much trial and error :)
