Execution options: There are three runtime options that can be set via the -D flag (none of which are needed if all of the option targets are standard). rdesktop location The location of rdesktop can be set with the rdesktop system property. Example: -Drdesktop=/path/to/rdesktop If this option is not set, it is assumed that rdesktop is on you path (which it is in the standard rdesktop install). sh (or other command shell) location The location of sh (or other command shell) can be set with the sh system property. Example: -Dsh=/path/to/sh If this option is not set, it is assumed that sh is located at /bin/sh (which is standard on most systems). cfg location The location of the config file may be set with the cfg system property. Example: -Dcfg=/path/to/config.xml If this option is not set, it will be assumed to be located at ~/xrdesktop/xrdesktop.xml In either case, a default config file will be created in the location specified. If the standards apply, execution of xrdesktop is as simple as: java -jar xrdesktop.jar
