[[aMuled]] is a full featured [[aMule]], running without any user interface ([http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/G/Graphical_User_Interface_GUI.html GUI]). It is controlled by remote access through [[aMuleWeb]], [[aMuleCMD]], [[aMuleGUI]] or other [[FAQ_eD2k-Kademlia#What_is_ED2K?|ed2k]] [[FAQ_utils|utilities]].

Stripped from [http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/G/Graphical_User_Interface_GUI.html GUI], [[aMuled]] has reduced memory and CPU requirements and it can run without [http://www.xfree86.org X] at all.

'''Please note:''' Remember '''not''' to set your max-Connections higher than 1024, since [[wxBase]] cannot handle more connections.

If you just need to run [[aMule]] on a remote server [[FAQ_aMule#Is there any way to start aMule with no graphical interface?|try Xvfb]] (see [[FAQ_aMule#Can_I_manage_aMule_remotely_through_telnet_in_the_same_way_I_do_with_eDonkey?|this]] too).

AMuleGUI

2005-07-31T22:51:49Z

62.203.234.189:

aMuleGUI allows you to administrate [[aMuled]] remotely and it has a user interface that looks exactly like good ol' [[aMule]]. If your connection is too slow try to use [[aMuleCMD]].

'''NOTE:''' It is still somewhat buggy (2.0.3).

'''NOTE:''' You must have External Connections enabled in order to be able to connect to aMuled.

AMuleCMD

2005-07-31T22:39:48Z

62.203.234.189:

Basically, aMuleCMD is a command line interface to access [[aMule]] or [[aMuled]] locally or remote. To run AMuleCMD simply type the command name at a command prompt. Note it's all lower case.
:$>amulecmd
(This is based on [[linux.definition|Linux]]. You may need to go to the actual directory on other OS's if it's not in the path.)

According to the amulecmd help you can perform the following commands:

Quit 
Help 
Stats 
Show DL 
Resume n 
Pause n 
ServerStatus 
Connect 
SetUpBwLimit n 
SetDownBwLimit n 
Disconnect

You can use this command to perform scheduled jobs with aMule(d), too. See [[FAQ_amulecmd]] for more details. 
If you prefer something more graphical use [[AMuleGUI]] (or [[aMule]] of course ;-).

'''NOTE:''' You must have [[External Connections]] enabled in order to be able to connect to aMule(d).

I needed to set "use [http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/protocol/tcp.htm TCP] ports instead of [http://www.unix.org Unix] local sockets" to be on, in Preferences -> Remote Connection -> External Connection Parameters.

'''How can I configure amulecmd to schedule actions? (Linux)'''

You have to configure such jobs with crontab. Let's do it by example: 
:bash ~# crontab -e
:00 6   * * * amulecmd -c "setupbwlimit 20"
:00 22 * * * amulecmd -c "setupbwlimit 0"
Will set your download bandwith limit to 20 kb/s on 6:00am and unlimited on 10:00pm. For more possibilities see also [[aMuleCMD]].

'''I cannot connect to [[aMuled]]. It seems [[aMuled]] does not create the listening port for connecting to it :-\?'''

You have probably not enabled [[External Connections]] in ''~/.eMule 
'''NOTE:''' If setting a value for the ''ECPassword'' doesn't seem to work, it might work with no password.
