NAME
anyremote2html - web interface for anyRemote acting as HTTP server SYNOPSIS
anyremote2html -w web-port -a anyRemote-port [-i directory-with-icons] [-s 16|32|64] [-r refresh rate] [--width integer] [-d] DESCRIPTION
The overall goal of this project is to provide remote control service on Linux through Bluetooth, InfraRed, Wi-Fi or just TCP/IP connec- tion. anyRemote supports a wide range of modern cell phones like Nokia, SonyEricsson, Motorola and others. It was developed as a thin "communication" layer between Bluetooth (IR, Wi-Fi)-capabled phones and Linux, and in theory it could be config- ured to manage almost any software. anyRemote is a console application, but in addition there are GUI front-ends for Gnome and KDE and this web front-end. With the help of this interface any device which contains a web browser and which can connect to the PC with anyRemote by TCP/IP (GPRS, Wi- Fi, ...) could be used as a remote control. USAGE
