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.

       The motivation behind this program was to be able to use EKG2 on a low performance machine
       with limited memory and CPU resources.
