post-process using command line

Not exactly sure what you're asking, but I do know the answer is -> No.

Mastercam needs to be running.

Of course you can start Mastercam via a command line or "batch" type file.  You can supply several options on the Command-Line that's supplied to the Mastercam.exe itself. Such the path\name of a .mcam file to be opened and the name of a C-Hook/NET-Hook add-in to be run after the file has been loaded.

"C:\Program Files\Mcam2019\Mastercam.exe" "C:\Users\user1\Documents\my mcam2019\Parts\ToolTest.mcam"  sortcircles.dll

The add-in could .. 

Select All operations and then Post Process those operations.

The add-in can also shut-down Mastercam when it's done.

*If the Multi-Threading is enabled and some of those operations do get processed by that, this "shut down when done" can get a bit more complicated.

If the add-in is a C-Hook it could disable Multi-Threading before commanding the Post Processing action.
