AutoFocus from command line was created by Gonzothegreat

As per the subject, is there a way to control the focuser from the command line? As in, not just in and out, but run the full routine to achieve focus.
I am building a multi-scopes system and as Ekos does not support this yet (and probably will not), I would to be able to script as much as possible.

If you are familiar with DBUS, you can control the focus module using that. The focus module DBUS commands are defined in kstars/org.kde.kstars.Ekos.Focus.xml.
