well if the frontend is "idle" at the time just slap together a script
with telnet commands to go in (with remote control interface enabled)

echo "jump mainmenu" | telnet localhost 6546
sleep 1
echo "key pageup" | telnet localhost 6546
sleep 1
echo "key enter" | telnet localhost 6546
sleep 1
echo "key down" | telnet localhost 6546
sleep 1
echo "key enter" | telnet localhost 6546
sleep 1
echo "key M" | telnet localhost 6546
sleep 1
echo "key enter" | telnet localhost 6546
sleep 10
echo "jump mainmenu" | telnet localhost 6546


is what it would take with my menu structure.
