Is there a way to invoke the Selenium IDE From the Linux command line. I would really like to have a command that when run would cause the Selenium IDE to run the current test. (This way I can hook it into gvim’s save hook and never take my hands off the keyboard)

EDIT:

I know how to get PHP unit or the like to run selenium. That works great for running tests, the problem is that right now what I am trying to do is use the selenium IDE as a macro. IE to load my app and navigate me to the part I am working on. That does not work well from phpunit because it reloads the page as soon as the test ends.

    What I found you can do is use the unix command line tool “xdotool” to generate the click event on the button, which will run the script. Exactly what I wanted to do. This is the command line I run. (Its in a shell script)

    xdotool search --name "Selenium IDE"  mousemove --window %1 153 65 click 1
