# raki(1)

a PC / Windows CE connection service application like ActiveSync

## NAME

raki — a PC / Windows CE connection service application like ActiveSync

## SYNOPSIS

**raki**

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the  **raki** program.

**raki** is a synonym for   "Remote-Access-KIcker-applet". As the name suggests it has first   been an applet for kicker, the KDE panel but as time goes by the   application-type changed. Today RAKI is an application docking into   the KDE system-tray. It is responsible for all additional tasks   which are desired for interacting with the PDA via the desktop.

## OPTIONS

This program doesn't have any command line arguments.

## FEATURES

\* support for multiple connected PDAs;

\* a plugin-based synchronization architecture, including at present a   synchronizer for PDA contacts and the standard KDE address book and   AvantGo synchronization;

\* copying files / directories via drag'n'drop to / from the PDA,   including mimetype support;

\* Internet connectivity for PDAs via NAT;

\* sounds for event notifications (connections, password requests and   disconnections);

\* simple CAB file installation on PDAs;

\* PDA software management;

\* program launching on the PDA;

\* PDA system information and power status display;

\* auto-response to PDA password requests;

\* configuration of passwords, NAT routes and synchronization settings   per device;

\* support for PDA partnerships.

## USAGE

Launch the application from the "K-Menu-\>Utilities"-Menu or,  if you don't have a "K-Menu-\>Utilities-\>Raki" entry, start RAKI from   the command line by issuing "raki". You will get a new icon located   in the system-tray.

Right click on that icon shows a popup menu containing infrastructure   related items.

If there are connected devices left click will open a popup menu   containing individual device menu items for every connected PDA. Drag   and drop of CAB-files onto the RAKI system-tray icon installs them on   a device. A dialog box lets you choose the destination PDA. Choosing   "Synchronize" from an individual device menu starts synchronizing that   PDA and your desktop.
