Haiku

Make remote_app_server more user friendly

Haiku has a remote desktop feature, which user visible side is the frontend remote_app_server. It is a very simple command line app that will allow to connect to a remote system and run apps there with a local display (similar to ssh -X). The goal of this task is:

  • Add a --help option to remote_app_server with a short description of the app and available options
  • Improve error handling when the connection to the remote host fails (in some cases you get trapped in a "white screen of death")

Task tags

  • remote desktop
  • c++
  • command line
