This assumes you have a fasta file and you wish to recreate the default setting of blast2go. This would include the blast, mapping and annotation steps with default blast2go settings.
Let's blast it;
blastall -p blastx -d nr -i myseqs.fasta -e 0.001 -m 7 -o blastResult.xml -I T -v 20 -b 20 -F L
where myseqs.fasta is the file you're blasting and blastResults.xml is your blasted results.
NOTE: According to the literature it says 'Note: Do not create xml-files with more than 100 xml-results. Pasrsing them will otherwise be difficult'
The next bit is to run the blast2go pipeline, which is the command line version;
java -Xms256m -Xmx512m -jar blast2go.jar -in blastResult.xml -v -a -out MyAnnot -d MyAnnot.dat -p b2gPipe.properties
