Saving jpeg of plot in background procesing

We have a gui which plots a graph and then add some points to it depending on the user input. We want to automate the process and run it several times on a server and produce jpeg images. This is an extremely simplified code (but actually except for the choice of data, its exactly the same):

function _something_()
  x = linspace(0,2*pi,100);
  plot(x,sin(x))
  hold on
  scatter(x,cos(x))
  hold off
end

Is there a way to achieve this ? Maybe we should use something else and not "plot" and "scatter" ?

Thanks !

See print() and saveas(). See also the File Exchange contribution export_fig (I am not sure if it has been updated for R2014b and later though.)

Was so sure that I cannot use fig and plot and all that without a graphical front end, that I did not even check. learned my lesson.

saveas() does exactly what i need.

Thanks !
