The convenience of the Workbench-integrated jump, is that I don't have to bother setting up the tunnel manually, remember what particular host I tied to what particular local IP/port combo, et cetera. I've not just the one server to admin, you know - I just ordered 20 licenses for ZRM backup, to cover the most important machines. The rest of them aren't important enough to warrant that cost, they'll manage fine with a nightly dump. So, as I said; I use workbench (occasionally) for hosts that are 0 or 1 jump away; for the rest I just go there through plain SSH and do stuff commandline. > -- > Regards...
