Description Brat Wizard 2003-11-12 20:23:38 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs

One of the _most common_ things I do with konsole after I start it up is:

- Open a new shell (session)
- SSH to some other host
- perform a few initial commands (always the same) to setup remote tty, cd to a directory, etc
- Name the shell (a la CTRL-ALT-S) to the name of the remote system (or some other useful title) to identify the session window

It would be EXTREMELY nice if I could pre-define these common actions and then be able to press a button (or select a menu option) to just do it. It would be okay if there were some sort of password token that required me to enter my remote login/password manually.

I would like to be able to click on "FOO-HOST" (or whatever) and have it:

- Open a new session
- establish a connection with FOO-HOST
- login (or go through interactive login, either is okay)
- run a few pre-defined commands
- rename the session title to "FOO-HOST" (or some other name I choose in setting up the button)

You can already do most of this with dcop && a simple shell script.

And you can also have sessions that run ssh instead of your shell, thus logging on to a remote host. The title is set to whatever that session is named.

I think this is a WORKSFORME.
