Programmatically controlling a unix application

I have an application running on Solaris that has a very weak API. Some features are only available through it's user interface.

I need some examples of how one might go about programmatically controlling the application. I basically need to press some buttons and change text in edit boxes.

I've done this in Windows, but never unix. The application can use c/c++, java, perl, tcl, whatever (I'm familiar with all of these).

hmm, either my comment is valuable somehow, or it is not.
If it is not valuable the question should be deleted.

As I think there might be value in it for some, I advised to store it as a PAQ.
When you're sure that "the answer" is between your remarks, the just post an additional comment.
I'm only making proposals and a moderator will take action on my proposal and your comment :-)

Thanks for your reaction !

ask a moderator, please.
I vote for a PAQ, but not 0 points ('cause it's a valuable suggestion, somehow, IMHO).
I'm not gathering points, so you don't need to grade my comment. Just to be fair in compared to other PAQs.
