RemoteObjects provides an easy way to work with objects in remote Julia sessions. Objects can be instantiated in a remote session with @remote, and then the object can be manipulated remotely, without ever needing to instantiate it on the local session.

Additionally, run_server can be used to run a server in the background which listens on a user-specified port for commands from another Julia session. connect_remote can connect to such a session, and its result can then be passed to @remote to instantiate remote objects. This mechanism allows remote control of a Julia session without the local and remote sessions being part of a Distributed cluster.
