Why Orka ?

I am aware that there are lot of tools available to control multiple clients. Most of them are command line tools. I wanted to create a one click access Gui tool to control Multiple clients. And that's why Orka was born. Peace!....

Caution!

Orka is in Aplha Stage. Many features(like authentication) are yet to be merged. Kindly avoid using it in production environment.
