Scripting

HANtune offers the ability to run your own scripts by integrating a Jython interpreter. Jython is a Java implementation of a Python interpreter, which means that it runs inside the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). This makes it very easy to interface with HANtune and allows us to automate its functionality.
