Hi s, I'm still a little confused, but check out UMENU2: http://www.troubleshooters.com/projects/umenu2/ You could have identical menus on each of the thousands of servers, and just have different environment variables so each server's menu does the right thing for that server. This isn't a Tilda solution or a Guake solution: It's a menu accessible on any computer, GUI or CLI, via ssh, with or without X11-forwarding. You needn't type commands because all you type is letters: One letter per submenu or leaf mode command. I web searched "session manager", and it seems to be logging_with_recall/approving/disapproving your interaction with a GUI user interface. I can't immediately visualize how that relates to your need to what you're looking for. > > > I think I still missed to describe you what would make Tilda a real > top-notch Conection Manager.. I'm assuming that by "connection manager" you mean https://searchvirtualdesktop.techtarget.com/definition/Remote-Desktop-Connection-Manager-RDCMan where it's sort of like a smart, database driven KVM switch (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KVM_switch), except it switches between remote desktop sessions instead of between physical computers. If that's the case, my preference would be to have a standalone connection manager rather than one attached to a terminal. I'm wondering if such a thing could be constructed using a window for display, and a bunch of tmux sessions, one for each connection. This is a guess: I don't really know what you're describing. > Here are some applications, that have > at some extent that capability, but fail in a lot of other things: > > - https://sites.google.com/site/davidtv/ > - http://kuthulu.com/gcm/screenshots.html > - https://remmina.org > - https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net > - https://www.nomachine.com > > Best of all of them: > - https://www.vandyke.com/products/securecrt/index.html > > 2nd Best, but no X11-Forwarding :( > - https://remmina.org > I looked up Van Dyke and was unable to see any conceptual link between that and a terminal. Are you using a dropdown terminal as a connection manager right now? If so, which dropdown terminal?
