Norton,

Emcrsh / linuxcncrsh looks like it will do what you want. Prior to version
2.5 it is emcrsh, 2.5 and later it is linuxcncrsh. You simply need to do an
'enable', then set the 'mode' to MDI, and finally issue the MDI commands.
For example:

telnet <machine address> 5007

hello EMC x 1.0
set echo off
set enable <password> // default EMCTOO
set mode mdi
set mdi G0 X0
set mdi G0 X63.85
quit

Note: Depending on what you are doing you may need to set mode back to
manual or auto once you are done.

Regards,
Eric

I am new to EMC. I am the software guy responsible for automating operation
of a simple mechanical device. The folks who created it, set it up with a
stepper motor connected to the parallel port of a Linux box running EMC.
There are two commands implemented via buttons in Axis:
"Open" and "Close". These boil down to:

    [HALUI]
    MDI_COMMAND = G0 X0
    MDI_COMMAND = G0 X63.85

I need to be able to execute these commands under program control (not with
a mouse click). Is there a straightforward way to issue these commands via,
say, emcrsh (or is it linuxcncrsh?) or via a command line, perhaps using
halcmd? The overall control for this system is on a separate computer, so
these commands need to be issued via TCP/IP or ssh.
