Well this is getting very close to what I need. Almost but not quite . . .
I discovered that in Settings -> Configure Konsole I can replace "Execute:
bash" with "Execute: ssh someserver".
Then when I choose "New someserver" from the Session menu, it pops open
another tab with the correct name and logs in via ssh. That part is perfect.
So if I could set up a bunch of those and then save them in a profile, it
would be great - but after I save the profile, when I start it up again, all
the tabs are opened, and are even named correctly, but instead of running ssh
I'm just sent to a bash shell. So it seems like the profiles do not actually
make use of the sessions directly?
Inside the profile I see (amongst other things):
Args0=/bin/bash
Args1=/bin/bash
and:
Pgm0=/bin/bash
Pgm1=/bin/bash
I'm assuming I might be able to change one of those to match what I need but
I'm not sure what they do (officially).
A google search turns up this page:
http://lists.kde.org/?l=konsole-devel&m=111151844132123&w=2
which makes it look like I can modify the Args line, but then they are saying
that the ssh might be causing the bug.
I'm having a hard time finding documentation that says what Args and Pgm are
really for - can anyone help me with that?
Thanks,
JW
