  <text>It would be nice if a Penguinet session could be initiated and controlled from a script.  This would allow us to automate SSH sessions (for example, to automate changes to equipment).  I'd like the capability to either launch Penguinet from a batch file specifying a script to run or have API access to Penguinet functions from an existing scripting language (VBScript, Perl, etc.)  The feature should not require any user interaction via GUI.</text>

    <text>You can already get part-way to what you want to do.  Take a look at Help|Contents-&gt;Getting started|Command line options and Session|Connection profiles-&gt;Send commands.  It's not full scripting, but it will allow you to start PN from a batch file and execute a series of commands.

We'll review the options for scripting.</text>
