Remote Desktop connection in LUA

[FFMG]

To launch an app in LUA you need to use the API call, am_execute( "APPNAME", "ARGUMENTS" );

So to launch remote desktop connection you must do:
am_execute( "%SystemRoot%\\system32\\mstsc.exe", "/v:<server[:port]>" );

But given a single argument you could either connect or explore a server, (assuming the name of the server is "myserver").
// ---
sizeOf = am_getCommandCount();
if sizeOf == 0  then
  am_execute( "explorer.exe", "myserver" );
else
  word = am_getCommand( 1 )
  if word == 'c' or word == 'connect'  then
    am_execute( "%SystemRoot%\\system32\\mstsc.exe", "/v:myserver" );
  else
    am_execute( "explorer.exe", "myserver" );
  end
end 
// ---

You could of course take the name of the server as the argument and connect to it.

Then save the file in your root command folder, (with an appropriate name like "remote connect to myserver.lua", (remember the .lua extension in this case)
Reload piger, (type: [Caps Lock] this.reload)

and voila, your new command, "remote connect to myserver", is created.
