Background

The following tables list scripts that can be used to control OSIRIS and/or the telescope. These are useful for two things:

• As shortcuts, they can be entered on any napili command line to run the instrument in a command-line mode, as is done with NIRC2
• As building blocks in OSIRIS shell scripts which can perform complex operations.

These commands are always available from any OSIRIS account when logged into the OSIRIS workstation, napili.
