NAME

ekg2-remote - remote User Interface for EKG2

SYNOPSIS

ekg2-remote [OPTIONS] REMOTE-ENDPOINT

DESCRIPTION

ekg2-remote is a program which provides a remote user interface to an EKG2 instance that uses the "remote" plugin. It connects to EKG2 via a socket, and lets you use the program as if it was running locally.
