Worse, they're becoming the only way some bits of hardware can be used. Like bluetooth. They had excellent commandline support for it then gutted it and left it to rot. How're you supposed to automate that? Why should you need a working X server to use a bluetooth keyboard?
That's mostly what I was trying to say. Thank you for saying it! Smilie

NAME
anyremote - control PC with Bluetooth/Wi-Fi cell phone .br SYNOPSIS
anyremote [-f file] [-s connect string] [-log] [-a] [-fe port] [-http] [-u username] [-name SDP service name] [-password] anyremote -h|-v .br DESCRIPTION
The overall goal of this project is to provide remote control service on Linux through Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or just TCP/IP connection. anyRemote supports wide range of modern cell phones like Nokia, HTC, SonyEricsson, Motorola and others. It was developed as thin "communication" layer between Bluetooth (IR, Wi-Fi)-capabled phone and Linux, and in theory could be configured to manage almost any software. anyRemote is console application, but in addition there are GUI front-ends for Gnome and KDE. OPTIONS
-h print short help and exit -v print version number and exit -f /path/to/configuration/file By default anyremote will try to find and use $HOME/.anyremote.cfg, then ./.anyremote.cfg. It is possible to specify configuration file directly with -f option. -s connect string where connect string can be one of: bluetooth:_channel_ (Server mode - bluetooth connection) socket:_port_ (Server mode - TCP/IP connection) web:_port_ (Server mode - Web 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 -log print verbose logging information to $HOME/.anyRemote/anyremote.log -a reconnect automatically in case of connection failure, used only in AT-mode -fe _port_ Work as backend for GUI frontend. Use specified port to connect to frontend. -name SDP_service_name if bluetooth connection is used, allows one to specify SDP service name. Default value for SDP service name is "anyRemote" -password If this option is specified, then anyRemote will ask the client for the password. Password phrase should be stored in $HOME/.anyRemote/password file in plain text. -u|--user _username_ if started from root, allows one to set effective user ID to specified user .br AUTHORS
