What you want to look at is, if kpp and sylpheed have some command line options, or a accompanying remote-control program. Or kpp can be invoked directly when sylpheed is invoked, and there is no route to host ....
In short, there are better 'integration' options than a macro. while Tcl/Tk has elaborate mechanism to send codes to other executing programs, AFAIK it works only on Tk to Tk apps. There are simply too many things to make this possible under X windows, under any toolkit/framework. Even MSWin doesn't have this all very clean, there are just too many dialog and message boxes poping all over .. --Vardhan -----Original Message----- From: Santanu Chatterjee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 8:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [LIH]GUI scripting Hello everybody, I was wondering if Linux window managers could do this for me. This would be great. There is a thing called `macro' in OpenOffice, MS Office, etc. that allows one to record a series of mouse clicks to a single button. It would be nice to have a similar feature system wide (in GUI, of course) in Linux. Such things, in the form of shell scripting already exist for the command line interface. What I am looking or is a similar feature for the GUI, maybe `GUI scripting' if that term makes sense. For example, everday, in GUI, I click open kppp and connect to internet, then open Sylpheed and click on Get Mail button to download mail, etc. I want to have these things automatically done for me. Bash can open up the apps for me but surely it cannot click on the `Get Mail' button of Sylpheed. Does anyone know whether such a thing is available in Linux.
