JW,

fwiw, here's a framework (no error checking, buggy) based upon the
scripts i sent out earlier for a scripted "Mega Konsole" that i think
does what you want.

. (i *think* your issue about having to
send-all a password to 'su'/'sudo' should work if you do it right
and don't use the while-loop list of commands to exec.)

Hi Stephen,

I modified your script a little bit, it does seem like it's going to work.

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!):
