calling Smart Sharpen and Auto Levels from script?

I've found how to call the Unsharp Mask from within a script:

activeDocument.activeLayer.applyUnSharpMask(120,0.4,5);

I'm wondering if the same applies to Auto Levels and Smart Sharpen, and if so, does anyone have the correct syntax please?

Believe I found the Auto Levels:

activeDocument.activeLayer.autoLevels();

Yes?

Have a look at SmartSharpen.jsx in X's xtools.
Auto Levels looks ok.

Smart Sharpen has lots of switches and dials. The code in the script is based on Script Listener output (or generated from an action) so it contains all of the controls. If you are looking for only a subset of the functionality, you could get away with a simpler solution.

If you do not want to be able to control the smart sharpen options with the script one simple way would be to call an action that has your smart sharpen step.

Thanks for that guys. I'll most prob be back to this thread if I can't do suss out how to trim down the script.
(I have never recorded an action yet. I'm still a noob when it comes to PS scripting and actions)
