AUTOIT FOR LINUX

Im wondering if there is a scripting language for linux that is comparable to autoit which is windows only. one that can do things like emulate mouse clicks, send keystrokes, has built in functions like autoits '@scriptdir' which is basically a var for the directory the script is in. but its built into the language.

do you fellows know of anything similar?

man xdotool
man bash

If it runs on Linux and you need to script UI events to drive it, it's shit.
