Built for the server as much as the desktop

Linux is where an agent earns its keep as a background worker. The daemon runs as a systemd service, survives reboots, and can be driven entirely from the CLI.

Install and register the service

  1. Run curl -fsSL https://remoteagent.online/install.sh | bash.
  2. Run remoteagent login to link the device.
  3. Register the systemd service so it starts on boot.
  4. Confirm with systemctl status remoteagent.

Sandboxed, not root-allowed

Commands run argv-based through an allowlist, and always-blocked patterns like sudo and rm -rf / are refused. You can hand the agent a real server task without giving it the keys to the box.

Common jobs

  • Check disk and memory on a schedule.
  • Sweep logs and summarise errors.
  • Restart a service and report the result.
  • Run a morning report as a cron job.

Troubleshooting

$ remoteagent doctor
$ journalctl -u remoteagent -n 50
