Master – GUI
Master is a tool to simplify the editing of macro files. Macros can be executed, paused, or stopped. They are linked to the specific command-line tool by the shebang (#!) reference in the first line. With master, several macros can be started in parallel or sequentially and the individual output can be viewed.
