Default Help with command line on OSX

It's been a WHILE since I've been here! I'm looking to automate the processing of dialog lines for a game, and I would like to use the -batchconvert command. I was able to successfully create a config file, and the batch process works. It's processing the correct files, with the correct fx chain. However I can't seem to figure out how to do this without opening the Reaper app.

I'm doing this from a python script.

Here's what I've got:
os.system('/Applications/REAPER.app/Contents/MacOS/REAPER -batchconvert "{}"'.format(config_file))

Ideally, I believe I want something like this:
os.system('reaper -batchconvert "{}"'.format(config_file))

However that produces an error of:
sh: reaper: command not found

I thought I would be able to find a CLI tool within the Reaper.app bundle, but couldn't find anything.
I'm assuming this is possible. I.E., to batch process files without the GUI.

Also, it seems to always set the bit depth of the converted files to 24bit. I found this link, but there's nothing here about settings bit depth:
https://github.com/ReaTeam/Doc/blob/.../REAPER-CLI.md

I tried opening Reaper and saving a default settings for the batch converter, but it's not having any effect.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!
