rdesktop is a powerful tool, that works amazingly well. It's just now, for normal people it's not really easy to teach that the user has to enter a long command in the terminal.

That's why I was wondering how to make such a powerful tool easy to use. Maybe with a DIY launcher? A window appears and ask for your username and password, and the rest is already definite.

In which programming language can I make something like that? I know that a batch file could be a solution, but I want to make it more user friendly.

What does the cli ask for normally? Only the password? – Jacob Vlijm Aug 26 '16 at 10:25

rDesktop is remote desktop client. Ubuntu already has GUI for that - Remina. – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Aug 26 '16 at 10:27

Yeah I know, but it have to be really easy to use, like just write your name and password, the rest have to be alerady configured. – Emal011 Aug 26 '16 at 11:27
Easy is a subjective term. Just writing name and password won't do anything unless you provide it your remote desktop server address. Closing it as too-localized – Anwar Aug 26 '16 at 14:03
