Scripting Madagascar

Madagascar's command line interface allows us to create, manipulate and plot data. Often though, we want to create scripts that will perform these operations automatically for us. Scripting is especially important when processing large amounts of data, or performing a complex chain of file manipulations in order to ensure that operations are completed in the right order or with proper parameters.

In Madagascar, there are two main ways of creating scripts: shell scripts, and Python scripts using SCons.
