utility-freerdp

Script template to handle connections limiting dependency to freerdp.

The template handles if session is wayland or x11.

Usage

Copy the prototype to your local bin folder and name it what ever makes sense to your usecase e.g. use a nickname and make sure it is executable.

Make the file executable

chmod +x ~/.local/bin/nickname

Adjust the properties at the top of the script - just below the header - to match your connection and save the file.

Then you can execute from commandline

nickname
