Subject: | Automating Windows from cygwin |
Date: | Wed, 31 Jul 2002 13:36:40 -0700 |
From: | James Ganong <jeg AT thunnus> |
I have some scientific instruments that will only talk to a proprietary Windows app, and some Linux programs that analyze the data. I would really like to automate the process of running the Windows program so that the Linux programs could talk to cygwin over the net and get the data. The problem is that the windows app was written long ago, and source is not available. So I am wondering if there is a way to run an arbitrary windows application and do something like mouse macros from cygwin. Does anybody know of a way to do mouse macros from cygwin, or a way to invoke menu items from a arbitrary windows app from cygwin, or a better way to approach this? I have the impression that some people do mouse macros via vnc. Is there some O'Reilly book that I should have read?
