I want to click on something for hours. How can I make a script or use an application so the mouse will auto-click every 5 seconds or less?
Edit: xdotool click --delay 5000 --repeat 200 1
For 200 clicks with mouse
Open terminal, install xdotool
sudo apt-get install xdotool
Also, open the window you want to click side by side with terminal. Select terminal (as active window) and move the mouse over the point where you want to click. In terminal type (try not to move the mouse)
xdotool getmouselocation
You will need the x:XXX and y:YYY (bottom). You can move the mouse from here, but let windows stay where they are.
Type
gedit script
Paste the following on gedit (change the XXX and YYY for the numbers you got before)
#!/bin/bash
while [ 1 ]; do
xdotool mousemove XXX YYY click 1 &
sleep 5
done
Save and close it. Then
chmod +x script
To execute it,
./script
To get less, simply change the 5 after sleep to less.
