μshell - though it sounds like a french affair - is a small remote shell written in Java.

The strength of μshell lies in its plattform independence. It has been successfully tested with Windows (XP, Vista), MacOS X and Linux (Slackware, Ubuntu). μshell currently only supports running non-interactive apps so don't try to run OpenOffice =). There are some encoding issues, mainly with Windows (who needs UTF-8 when you've got CP850... ?#!*@). That is also the reason why μshell is sometimes called ushell. μshell requires Java 1.4 or better but it should also be compilable with Java 1.3.

μshell comes with two binaries: ushell.jar und ushell_client.jar. The former contains the remote shell, the latter is a client to control it. The default port is 55000.

Usage:
Server: java -jar ushell.jar [port]
Examples: java -jar ushell.jar
java -jar ushell.jar 54321

Client: java -jar ushell_client.jar host [port]
Examples: java -jar ushell_client.jar 192.168.1.2
java -jar ushell_client.jar 192.168.1.2 54321
