I'm able to use sudo / su with "send input to all sessions" just fine. It seems to trip over itself a little bit, at first I was getting errors like this: > ./konssh3 call failed call failed call failed Uh oh.. can't write data.. true ./konssh3: line 43: syntax error: unexpected end of file > ./konssh3 Uh oh.. can't write data.. Uh oh.. can't write data.. true ./konssh3: line 43: syntax error: unexpected end of file In addition to those errors it would randomly work or fail to open a tab with any given host - sometimes I'd end up with several tabs - or a few, or only one. I made a guess that it was moving too fast for its own good, slowed it down with a few sleep statements and it nows seems to be working good. I removed the --nomenubar option since it bothered me for some reason. I commented out the while loop because it was causing this error: ./konssh3: line 47: syntax error: unexpected end of file Also I don't understand the line about "You can now do things like: dcop ${KID} konsole sendAllSessions "shutdown -h now" " It doesn't work to run that in the initiating console. (I tried using ls /etc instead of shutdown :-) ) I added the -A option to the ssh client. So now I have this (If you strip out the comments it's pretty short!): #!/bin/sh # Title: mega-konssh # Description: create a scriptable konsole with many session tabs # Author: Stephen Dowdy (sdowdy@xxxxxxxx) # Caveats: work-in-progress host_list="root@host1 root@host2 root@host3 joe@host4 mary@host5" # Create the MainWindow.... konsole \ --script \ --caption "My Sessions" \ --T "My Sessions" \ --vt_sz 132x42 \ --noclose \ & KID="konsole-$!" # --nomenubar \ sleep 1.5s; for session in ${host_list}; do sid=$(dcop ${KID} konsole newSession) dcop ${KID} ${sid} renameSession "${session}" sleep 0.5s dcop ${KID} ${sid} sendSession "ssh -A $session" done sleep 1s; # close the now useless first session dcop ${KID} session-1 closeSession #dcop ${KID} konsole sendAllSessions "echo 'Hello World'" # Run our list of commands across all session tabs # while read command; do # dcop ${KID} konsole sendAllSessions ${command} #<<"EOF" #uptime #echo "done" #EOF #echo "You can now do things like:" #echo 'dcop ${KID} konsole sendAllSessions "ls /tmp"' exit 0 ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
