Pushing a button from a script

How can I push a button of a X-Window application from a script that is independent of such application?

How can I close a X-Window application from a script that is independent of such application?

I apologize about my poor English.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Arturo,

You might want to look at either Tk or expecTk which allow automating graphical based applications. There are also commercial tools like Xrunner which let you do the same.

cheers!

Download expect from here:

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Tcl/expect-5.43/

make sure you get a copy of the README file:

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Tcl/expect-5.43/readme.html

It has a lot of good info and more web links to other sources including the expect home page.
