the most simple is to cd / pushd to your file folder and then invoke 

lilypond test.ly 2>test.log

the output will automagically be directed to test.pdf ( or .png or whatever
you choose as format)

the first pipe ( [1]>test.xyz) - or how you name it - is where Lilypond
directs special output to (like when you use \displayLilypondMusic)

see also convert-ly in the usage manual for further possibilities!

imo this should be described more clearly in a manual - specially for users
who are not accustomed to the shell/dos/cmd prompt!
