Question #231757 on Sikuli changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/231757

    Status: Open => Answered

RaiMan proposed the following answer:
Running a Sikuli based automation package is in fact starting a Java
application (which in turn starts a new JVM process).

So in any case you need some interface/manager, that does this for you, triggered by whatever.
It gets a bit more complex, if you need some feedback from the automation process.
I would call this solution "loosely  coupled".
A typical example is the use of command files.

A solution, that allows to be more "tightly coupled" is to use e.g. XML-RPC, where the automation package is the RPC server and the clients send requests, to trigger aspects of the automation and get feedback.
Same goes for solutions, where the automation package runs on a HTTP-server with e.g. a REST interface.
Both variants have been successfully implemented already.

For more information: Google is your friend ;-)
