That's a neat idea... Unless I am misunderstanding something, it would be very easy to make a script to do that in Python, although I'm sure it's possible with Bash and some Tk stuff. I was just about to sit down and write a script... but then I realized, it would be the exact same as putting a bunch of icons on my panel that launch everything separately (one button would launch 'xterm "ssh hostname"' another would launch 'konqueror "fish://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/wherever"' another would launch 'sudo mount_smbfs ... mountpoint; konqueror mountpoint') -Mark C. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
