How do I control a running Google Chrome instance from the command line? I'm hoping there's something like a -remote flag that will allow me to send in some javascript or somesuch. In particular, I would like to reload the topmost document on the foremost window.
I'm especially interested in Linux/MacOS solutions.

Open Chrome Using Command Prompt You can also do the same thing from the “Run” window. Open Run by typing “Run” in the Windows 10 search bar and selecting the “Run” application. Here, type Chrome and then select the “OK” button. The web browser will now open.
2. Type "chrome" without quotation marks to run Chrome from the terminal. Chrome is installed in your binary path, so no special directory is required.
Run "%UserProfile%\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome --version".
To open Crosh, you need to press Ctrl + Alt + T, which will launch the terminal window in a new browser tab. You don't need to have your Chromebook's Developer Mode enabled to access Crosh.
Take a look at http://code.google.com/p/chromedevtools/ . It might be you can use the Debugging Protocol to do the job. There is also an Ruby Client. There is also chromix.

You can use this command line tool if you're on a Mac - it uses the Chrome Scripting API, I guess
