Description Kurt Hindenburg 2010-04-26 04:01:55 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Patch and info http://reviewboard.kde.org/r/1079/

The attached patch introduces the new command line option "-tabsfromfile <filename>" to konsole. On startup, konsole reads the file which contains one line for each tab to be created. Syntax is "<tab title>: <command> <args> ..."; comment lines start with '#'. This new option can e.g. be used to conveniently open ssh connections to a pool of PCs; with one tab for each PC. Such a configuration file could look like this:
# SSH sessions to all Network Testbed PCs
Control: ssh -CX user@control.my-domain.org
West:    ssh -CX user@west.my-domain.org
North:   ssh -CX user@north.my-domain.org
South:   ssh -CX user@south.my-domain.org
East:    ssh -CX user@east.my-domain.org

Patch against trunk to read from file

I changed a few things:
a) ;; is used as a seperator to simplify parsing
b) separate the functions
