    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.
