rdesktop-nogui

This is a fork of rdesktop 1.6.0 with user-interface code removed (using #ifndef and some macro replacement of functions), so that invocations of individual commands for the remote machine do not have to display the desktop (or any window) and so that the machine does not need the complete X-window system installed. It is useful for system automation scripts. It is only useful with the -s command-line option, which specifies a remote script and normally a full command, for example: rdesktop-nogui -s "cmd.exe /K copy a.txt b.txt" hostname It would not be hard to integrate this back into the main branch. Requires build-essential, libx11-dev, and libssl-dev packages to build on Ubuntu.
