thank you, but it lyx2lyx does not do what I need.
lyx2lyx file.lyx -o file.lyx
clobbers file.lyx
Something like
PID=$$
cp file.lyx file.$PID.lyx
lyx2lyx file.$PID.lyx file.lyx
doesn't fit on the command line so needs refinement as a bash script to
take arguments and do further error checking...
not what would call 'one the command line'
