Running Sikuli scripts from command line (Linux)

Asked by open

I'm on Linux Ubuntu and I want to run a Sikuli script using crontab.

How do I run a specific Sikuli script from the command line?

$ /path/to/Sikuli-IDE/sikuli-ide.sh /path/to/my-sikuli-script
Is a syntax like this already supported?

We have release a command line tool for running a sikuli script without the IDE. The cool can be downloaded at http://groups.csail.mit.edu/uid/sikuli/download.shtml.

Sample usage:

For Windows users, type "PATH-TO-SIKULI/sikuli-script xxxx.sikuli" in the command prompt(cmd.exe).
For Linux and Mac users, type "PATH-TO-SIKULI/sikuli-script.sh xxxx.sikuli" in any terminal programs.
