How can I make my mouse auto-click every 5 seconds?

Edit: xdotool click --delay 5000 --repeat 200 1

For 200 clicks with mouse

---

Open terminal, install xdotool

sudo apt-get install xdotool

Also, open the window you want to click side by side with terminal. Select terminal (as active window) and move the mouse over the point where you want to click. In terminal type (try not to move the mouse)

xdotool getmouselocation

You will need the x:XXX and y:YYY (bottom). You can move the mouse from here, but let windows stay where they are. Type

gedit script

Paste the following on gedit (change the XXX and YYY for the numbers you got before)

#!/bin/bash
while [ 1 ]; do
  xdotool mousemove XXX YYY click 1 &
  sleep 5
done

Save and close it. Then

chmod +x script

To execute it,

./script

To get less, simply change the 5 after sleep to less.

I went to this page and downloaded the xautoclick_0.20-1~ppa1_amd64.deb (14.3 KiB) and it works great :D

   For Precise 12.04LTS the package has been removed from the Ubuntu Repositories and is only available via GetDeb.
