In the test of MO call, scripts can be used to interact with oFono via D-Bus to make test automation possible. However, in the test of MT call, currently we have to enter the caller number and click some button in Phonesim GUI to simulate an incoming call, which makes test automation unrealistic.

I like this idea

However, using cp to run scripts seems a bit un-intuitive.  Perhaps a
simple D-Bus interface which can run the scripts would be better?

E.g. something like

org.ofono.Phonesim:

string Run(string script)

where the script contains the script to run and the return value might
return whatever is printed from the script.
