Ken,
>From my UNIX admin days, I feel comfortable with interpreted, script
languages. Python also provides useful networking tools and libraries
and there is a ton of literature supporting it.
Jeff and Eric replied (thanks guys!) with some stuff I will be trying
out over the next week, or so. I will also look into the AXIS source
code, though my sculpting abilities are meager at this time ;-)
Best regards,

Why python? If it is because you already know python, then I'd suggest
you start by examining AXIS. My guess is that everything you need is in
there.
[Sort of like making a sculpture of a horse. Take a piece of stone and
remove everything that isn't a horse.] :-)
I'm sure that cradek and jepler can provide more direction.

Subject: [Emc-users] Command-line interface to EMC2
Dear fellow EMC users and developers,
Several months ago I asked a question about remote control of EMC. I
received many excellent responses - thank you all.
As the system architecture progresses, it has become clear (or clearer)
that what I need is the ability run EMC2 from within a Python shell
program (or supervisory program) running on the same computer as EMC2.
The shell program will start/stop EMC2 (not necessary, but
nice-to-have), deliver an " *.ngc" file to EMC2 and have EMC2 execute
that file (necessary) and get status reports from EMC2 (necessary).
I have researched emcsh and emcsvr , but have come to dead-ends on both
topics. Does anyone have any ideas on where to start my research?
Thanks! I sense that I am just emulating a GUI (or precluding the use
of one), of which there are many excellent ones that have been developed
for EMC2.
Best regards,
