You can use xmacro to generate both keyboard and mouse events (assuming you are running X). These can be replayed from recorded events, or generated from commands. |

depends on which distro you are running here are the instructions for ubuntu here are rpm's for opensuse and fedora , please let me know which distro and I can be more specific. Would also help if you updated in your profile so as anyone can look and make a general assumption.
Regards,

Another option is kbde (kttp://kbde.sf.net) - keyboard emulator.
It's work for both X and console applications, but don't support mouse events |
