gimp-remote - tells a running gimp to open a (local or remote) image file.
gimp-remote [−h] [−−help] [-v] [−−version] [−n] [−−new] filename...
gimp-remote is a small utility that tells a running gimp to open a (local or remote) image file. It does so by searching for a gimp toolbox on the active display. If it can find a gimp toolbox, a synthetic drop event is created which makes gimp think the files would have been dropped onto the toolbox. More than one filename or URL can be specified on the commandline.
gimp-remote
accepts the following options:
−h, −−help
Display a list of all commandline options.
−v, −−version
Output the version info.
−n, −−new
If no running gimp is found, a new instance of gimp is started. The files to open are passed to the new gimp.
gimp-remote http://www.gimp.org/icons/frontpage-small.gif

gimp-remote −n wilber.xcf wilma.xcf
Loads the local files wilber.xcf and wilma.xcf into a running gimp. If no gimp is running, a new one is started.
