anyRemote(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, this is the page for anyremote, from the General Commands Manual, section 1 🎀 It's a one-liner: anyremote is how you control your PC with a Bluetooth/Wi-Fi cell phone 📱✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

anyremote [-f file] [-s peer[,peer ...]] [-log] [-a]
                 [-fe port] [-u username] [-name SDP service name] [-password]

anyremote -h|-v

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

anyRemote is remote control software for apps that use WiFi or Bluetooth, and it's giving main character energy 💅

It was built as a thin "communication" layer 🧚 between a device with WiFi or Bluetooth support (think cell phone or tablet computer 📱) and a Linux PC 💻

In theory, you could configure anyRemote to manage almost any kind of software 🤯 literally so iconic

anyRemote is a console app 💜 but there are also GUI frontends for Gnome and KDE 🌈

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -h — print a short help message and exit 🍓
• -v — print the version number and exit ✨
• -f /path/to/configuration/file — by default anyremote checks $HOME/.anyremote.cfg, then ./.anyremote.cfg. If you want to point it at a specific config file, use -f 🎀
• -s peer[,peer ...] — pick your peers 🫶 A peer can be one of these:

tcp:_port_         (Server mode - TCP/IP connection)

bluetooth:_channel_ (Server mode - bluetooth connection)

web:_port_         (Server mode - Web interface)

cmxml:_port_       (Server mode - XML services interface)

local:/dev/ircommX  (Server mode - IR connection)

rfcomm:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:CC (AT mode - bluetooth connection,

     where XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is bluetooth device address and

     CC is channel number - integer from 1 to 32)

/dev/ttyACM#       (AT mode - cable connection)

/dev/ircomm#       (AT mode - IR connection)

ilirc:_AF_LOCAL socket file_ (use with inputlircd)

stdin

avahi - register SDP service using Avahi

The default peer value is bluetooth,tcp:5197,web:5080,avahi 🦋

You can specify several peers, but only in Server mode configuration files 🌟

You can only specify a single peer of the web: or cmxml: type 🙈

• -log — print verbose logging info to $HOME/.anyRemote/anyremote.log 🧾
• -a — reconnect automatically if the connection fails. This only works in AT mode 🔁
• -fe port — work as a backend for a GUI frontend. The port is what it uses to connect to the frontend 🌸
• -name SDP_service_name — if you're using a Bluetooth or TCP/IP connection, you can name the SDP service yourself 💖 The default is "anyRemote"
• -password — anyRemote will ask the client for a password 🔐

heads up bestie 😭 the password phrase is stored in plain text in $HOME/.anyRemote/password

• -cfgdir directory — swap out the default folder for config files 🗂️
• -tmpdir directory — swap out the default folder for temporary files 🫧
• -u|--user username — if you start it as root, this lets you set the effective user ID to that user 👑
