looking for some konsole fun...

Hi everyone

I'd like to have a terminal icon on my desktop that opens up konsole with 10 tabs, each tab using a differents schema, and a different command is executed in each tab.

Basically, I have to connect to 10 remote servers thru ssh. I'd like to click on an icon on my desktop and then simply enter my passphrase in each tab. If it could enter my passphrase for me it would be even better.

Right now I have to open konsole, then open 10 tabs, then change the schema in each tabs (I like to have different text colors for each remote host) then enter my ssh command and finally enter my passphrase, which is the same for each host.

I guess I would need a little scrit or something. I can do something similar with this:

Code:

konsole --schema red -e ssh -X -p22354 root@someserver

it works, but 10 konsoles takes a lot of mem, I'd prefer to use tab. Is there a switch that I'm unaware to open a konsole in a tab?

Any tips/help?

Thanks

Yanik

I'm getting somewhere.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
konsole=$(dcopstart konsole-script)

session=$(dcop $konsole konsole newSession)
dcop $konsole $session renameSession asdf
dcop $konsole $session sendSession "ssh -X -p24958 root@asdf"

session=$(dcop $konsole konsole newSession)
dcop $konsole $session renameSession qwer
dcop $konsole $session sendSession "ssh -X -p24958 root@qwer"

session=$(dcop $konsole konsole newSession)
dcop $konsole $session renameSession zxcv
dcop $konsole $session sendSession "ssh -X -p24958 root@zxcv"

The script opens up a konsole then opens tabs with my ssh command. The only thing missing is how do I specify the schema to use for each tab?
