I need to convert an SVG to EPS and currently use inkscape to do this.

To convert the SVG using the Inkscape GUI version, I simply open the svg, and "Save As" 'logo.eps', unselecting the "Rasterize filter effects" option.

However, I want to automate this process using the command line. Using

inkscape logo.svg -E logo.eps

works but does not disable filter rasterisation. I have done some research but can't figure out how to do this can anyone provide me the correct command? Thanks

The command I had to use to fix this problem was 

inkscape in.svg -E out.eps --export-ignore-filters --export-ps-level=3

where in.svg is your image and out.eps is the eps that comes out.
