A long time ago I managed to write a command line port tool for Maya using the backend port that it provides. The tool was written in Perl and in general once a connection was made I could send MEL commands to the software via a "command line" prompt via a windows terminal. I used this often with Maya to take control of the software in case of a lock up etc and to send move data to it.
I thought I had created the same for XSI, again a really long time ago, but can't seem to find it. XSI should be able to do this since it appears to communicate with Maya via a port connection. Does anyone know if this is still possible? If so do you have any examples how it would be done for XSI?
