vncdotool
vncdotool is a command line VNC client. It can be useful to automating interactions with virtual machines or hardware devices that are otherwise difficult to control.
It’s under active development and seems to be working, but please report any problems you have.
Quick Start
To use vncdotool you will need a VNC server, most virtualization products include one, you can use RealVNC, TightVNC or clone you Desktop using x11vnc.
Once you have a server running you can install vncdotool from pypi:
pip install vncdotool
and then send a message to the vncserver with:
vncdo -s vncserveraddress type "hello world"
You can also take a screen capture with:
vncdo -s vncservername capture screen.png
More documentation can be found at ReadtheDocs.
Feedback
Comments, suggestions and patches are welcome and appreciated. They can be sent to sibson+vncdotool@gmail.com or via GitHub. If you are reporting a bug or issue please include the version of both vncdotool and the VNC server you are using it with.
