Does anyone have experience driving the typical internet browsers, such
as Mozilla Firefox from the bash command line?
For example:
% /usr/local/bin/firefox https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/
will open up that window to the National Hurricane Center and display
the information.
But we need to dig deeper, such as selecting the Hurricane Rafael menu
selection button "satellite" and then selecting the menu "HU Rafael -
RGB Loops" and then the GLMA overlay to the Geocolor mapping. This is
the URL
https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/goes/floater_band.php?stormid=AL182024&band=EXTENT3&length=24
This has to be changed for the full 240 frame loop
URL:
https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/goes/floater_band.php?stormid=AL182024&band=EXTENT3&length=240&dim=1
Then the bash script to create an mp4 video can be run, after the
browser loads up all 240 frames.
Right now I am doing all this manually, but I am wondering if this can
be automated in a bash script ??
