Free remote control software for linux

Selenium Remote Control project is a test tool that allows you to write automated web application UI tests in any programming language against any HTTP website using any mainstream JavaScript-enabled browser.
Selenium Remote Control provides a Selenium Server, which can automatically start/stop/control any supported browser. It works by using Selenium Core, a pure-HTML+JS library that performs automated tasks in JavaScript.
The Selenium Server communicates directly with the browser using AJAX (XmlHttpRequest). You can send commands directly to the Server using simple HTTP GET/POST requests; that means that you can use any programming language that can make HTTP requests to automate Selenium tests on the browser. To further ease this process, we provide wrapper objects for a number of mainstream programming languages (Java, .NET, Perl, Python, and Ruby).
Finally, the Selenium Server acts as a client-configured HTTP proxy, to stand in between the browser and your website. This allows a Selenium-enabled browser to run JavaScript on arbitrary websites.
The Selenium Server is great for testing complex AJAX-based web user interfaces under a Continuous Integration system. It is also an ideal solution for users of Selenium Core or Selenium IDE who want to write tests in a more expressive programming language than the Selenese HTML table format customarily used with Selenium Core.
Supported Platforms:

- Konqueror 3.5+
- Opera 8.5+, 9
Enhancements:
- This version includes a bunch of new features, including frame support, multiWindow support (for testing apps that dont like to run in a subframe), a Konqueror browser launcher, new cookie-management actions, and support for Firefox 2.0 and IE7.
- It also includes experimental support for SSL directly in the Selenium proxy and a new highly experimental "proxy injection" mode that gives more control over the application under testing by modifying it in the HTTP proxy.

Getcontrol project is a GNOME 2 multimedia frontend.
Getcontrol is a GNOME 2 multimedia frontend.
It aims to play DivX, DVD, MP3, Ogg, and Shoutcast streams,and also provide digital photo viewing, video conferencing, etc., all connected with your remote control and running on your TV out.
It relies on Gstreamer for multimedia playback.
Indeed even with a smart lirc configuration it was a real maze to launch any DVD player application, or even a simple XMMS.
My wife just turned crazy and was not able to use it. I realized that compared to a hardware player my remotelly controlled linux box was not so friendly to use.
Then i took my Anjuta IDE, some docs from gnome.org websites and started to develop my own coherent GUI for this multimedia box.
Enhancements:
- Releasing : getcontrol 0.1.7
- Divx : Divx playback from CDROM (mounting/unmounting/ejecting)
- Audio : MP3 streams supported with xml configuration file (bookmark)
- Control : Play/Pause/Stop/Mute/VolUp/VolDown supported
- Tasking : Pressing menu while watching movie suspend movie and go back to main menu. Movie can be restored from menu.
- Busy activities : Implemented a busy animation showing clearly to the user what is busy. (Inspired from Mac OS X(R))

local-remote-controll-gui is a Lazarus/(freepascal) programmed software for running commands on remote "server" or machine, true a file shearing.(like sshfs..)... some customize options, GUI on the user/machine...linux ppc and linux x86, the source binary enabled.

vdr_remote is a graphical remote control for the video disk recorder vdr. vdr_remote connects over a TCP/IP network and gives you a complete remote control.

ir-root-controller is a small daemon which listens to the LIRC (Linux Infrared Remote Control) daemon and executes system events.
ir-root-controller is intended to be run as a system daemon and does not require any user to have set up LIRC or events for LIRC.
An example application would be changing the global system volume irrespective of what applications are running or which users (if any) are logged in.
Enhancements:
- Fixes a bug in the build system.

Device Control Device is a platform independent remote telescope and device control program compatible with the INDI standard (see http://indi.sourceforge.net/).

This program is a client (a user interface) and provides functions to control devices connected to a remote system that is running an INDI server.

The features and the structure of the GUI are similar to the Kstars INDI client. The only advantages are support for Windows and lower resource requirements.

Remote Secure Command System project is a remote asynchronous and secure command system based on a file configuration.

A standalone server sends and receives commands through files, and a batch system launch ssh and scp commands.

XMMSd web control plug-in allows XMMS to be controlled with a Web browser. It makes it easier for languages like PHP to remotely control XMMS.
