The remobo installation includes “remobo-cli” commands on all platforms, including Windows, Mac, and Linux. It allows you to start a new Remobo process, or connect to existing Remobo process in the system, and issue buddy operations.

There’s also a “remobo-service-config” command that allow you to install Remobo as system services on all platforms, and set up the default userid/password to be used at system boot time for auto-starting the Remobo system service.

On Linux, “remobo-cli” is located at “/usr/bin/” & “remobo-service-config” is at “/usr/libexec/” (it’ll be moved to ‘/usr/bin/’ in future versions).
On Mac both are located at “/Applications/Remobo.app/Contents/MacOS/”
On Windows, they are at “C:\Program Files\Remobo\”
Notice that only Pro user can run remobo in CLI mode and set up AutoStart system service. You can Pro subscriptions at: http://www.remobo.com/pro . It’s also a good way to support the Remobo Team for the on-going development efforts and keep the Remobo GUI version free for all of us.

To find the usage of these commands, run it with “—help” parameter. Here’re their output:
