Dear all,
as I got no reply, I did embark on this little automation quest by
myself, as announced.
I used AutoHotkey to write a script that operates on Artemis by sending
keystrokes and mousecommands. I will attach the the code to the end of
this mail so anyone interested can take a peek. I basically wrote it for
myself so some parts might not be clear or smartly designed but it does
it's job of automatically starting fit after fit while varying the
start/guess/set parameters. It is somewhat commented so anyone with a
real interest in this should be able to get it to work, otherwise just
ask me for help.
Subsequently I used MS PowerShell to grab the relevant parameters from
the log-files of the fits.
I won't attach that script, but if anyone is interested in it: just ask.
Attention, wall-of-text/code below!

I am very sorry, in the second paragraph the sequence describing what
I want to do could have been clearer:
I want to 1. start a fit with certain parameters, 2. save the log
file, 3. change one parameter. This should be repeated many (120 for
now) times.

Dear Ifeffit mailing-list,
first of all sorry for writing another mail to the list in such a
short time span, I hope people will not get sick of me too quickly.
I want to do many fits for the same data with varying
start-parameters. More specifically, I am doing fits to EXAFS data of
the Pt L3 edge of PtCo(X) nanoparticles and want to vary sigma^2 for
each of the two paths (Pt-Pt and Pt-Co) that I fit. I want to 1.
start a fit with certain parameters, 2. save the log file, 3. change
one parameter many (120 for now) times.
If there is no functionality to do this in Artemis I'll have to
resort to using some external script that abuses Artemis. In that
case I will report on how it went. But obviously, it would be much
more comfortable if Artemis had something like this implemented.
Any way to start a fit from the windows command line (I'm using
Windows 10) would also be very helpful as that would probably allow
me to do the scripting in PowerShell relatively easily.
With kind regards,
Felix
