As I'm still VERY new to Tex I have been using TexMaker (niavely) to generate my pdf's. I have a doc I have been working on for some time that someone else wants to manually generate with my tex files on a remote computer. They asked me what command I used to created the document. How do I find the command that TexMaker would run if I was just to use command line options (and not TexMaker)? I looked in the log file that is generated but nothing really jumped out at me.

You'll probably find the exact command-line options passed under TeXMaker's Quick Build settings, or... elsewhere.– Werner ♦Commented Sep 7, 2013 at 0:01

You can find all the details of commands used in Options --> Configure Texmaker. For pdflatex, I have highlighted the command. Please note that %.tex refers to your file name that is currently open in texmaker.
These are the default settings. You may also have a look at the Quick Build window.

Exactly what command is used depends of course on which tool is chosen from the Tools menu (or which shortcut is pressed). If Quick Build (F1) is used, a combination of the tools listed in the above screenshot may be used, though I guess pdfLaTeX is default(?). Commented Sep 8, 2013 at 14:54

@TorbjørnT. Yes you are right. But without any knowledge of OP's settings we are blind. :)– user11232Commented Sep 8, 2013 at 14:57

Yeah, I sort of meant it as additional information to the OP. Commented Sep 8, 2013 at 15:00
If you are using LaTeX (and not TeX) you probable are using pdflatex to generate your PDF (latex will generate a DVI file), e.g.
$ pdflatex your_doc.tex
TexMaker probable use some flags as -interaction nonstopmode. For information about the this and others flags
$ man pdflatex
If the remote machine have PERL installed I suggest that you use latexmk since it will compile your document the number of times it need to properly generate the PDF (cross-reference need that the document be compiled at least two times). E.g.,
$ latexmk -pdf your_doc.tex
