Can I force a firefox page refresh from linux console
This is the Linux version of this question . Does anyone have a method for forcing a page refresh on firefox from the command-line? geekQ You can use xdotool for automation. Install on Ubuntu with sudo aptitude install xdotool Then you can search for windows and send keys or mouse events, see man xdotool for the full documentation. I use following script on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS during development: WID=`xdotool search --name "Mozilla Firefox" | head -1` xdotool windowactivate $WID xdotool key F5 See also the xdotool project site and my full blog post . The best solution I've found so far.. Install
