Overview

This manual page documents briefly the raki program.

raki is a synonym for "Remote-Access-KIcker-applet". As the name suggests it has first been an applet for kicker, the KDE panel but as time goes by the application-type changed. Today RAKI is an application docking into the KDE system-tray. It is responsible for all additional tasks which are desired for interacting with the PDA via the desktop.

Usage

Launch the application from the "K-Menu->Utilities"-Menu or, if you don't have a "K-Menu->Utilities->Raki" entry, start RAKI from the command line by issuing "raki". You will get a new icon located in the system-tray.

Right click on that icon shows a popup menu containing infrastructure related items.

If there are connected devices left click will open a popup menu containing individual device menu items for every connected PDA. Drag and drop of CAB-files onto the RAKI system-tray icon installs them on a device. A dialog box lets you choose the destination PDA. Choosing "Synchronize" from an individual device menu starts synchronizing that PDA and your desktop.
