Answer 1

You will need the Selenium RC which you can get from:
http://seleniumhq.org/download/

and Java 1.5 or higher (sorry I'd post a link to it, but Stack Overflow will only let me post one link as I am a new user)

1) Install Java
2) Unpack Selenium RC.
3) Open a cmd.exe window and go to the directory containing the Selenium Server (selenium-remote-control-1.0.1\selenium-server-1.0.1)
4) Run the command below:

java -jar selenium-server.jar -htmlSuite "*firefox" "http://10.8.100.106" "C:\mytestsuite\mytestsuite.html" "C:\mytestsuite\results.html"

This should run your test suite in Firefox and write the results to the html file. Obviously you will need to change the "http://10.8.100.106" argument to your own server (this might just be localhost / 127.0.0.1)

Hope this helps.

Thansk Jamie for your answer,

I've tried your suggestion and it works.

However, let's say my suite needs two or more domains. How do I handle this in the command line ? In the sample you provided there is only one domain (("http://10.8.100.106") And when I tried to run a suite that contain 2 test cases with different domains - the first one succeed but the second TC failed due to wrong domain name (base url).
