NAME

6       sshmenu - GNOME applet for connecting to hosts using SSH.
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The  SSHMenu  applet puts all your most frequently used SSH connections
10       on a handy menu in your GNOME panel (see below for non-GNOME  versions.
11       Click  on  a  host name to open a new gnome-terminal window with an ssh
12       connection to the selected host.  Set up SSH options (such as port for‐
13       warding  etc)  and select a gnome terminal profile (for colour schemes,
14       font sizes etc) using the preferences dialog.
15
16       Add the applet to a GNOME panel in the normal way: right click  on  the
17       panel,  select  'Add to Panel' and then select the SSH Menu Applet from
18       the list.
19
20       Configure the applet using the 'Preferences' option on the applet menu.
21

STANDALONE VERSIONS

23       The SSHMenu application uses the GTK GUI toolkit but is  not  dependent
24       on  the GNOME desktop environment.  Two alternative wrapper scripts are
25       provided:
26
27       sshmenu-gnome - provides all the functionality of  the  SSHMenu  applet
28       but  in  a  standalone  application  window that could (for example) be
29       swallowed into the panel of an alternative desktop environment.
30
31       sshmenu - provides similar functionality to sshmenu-gnome, but  without
32       any GNOME dependencies.  Notably, xterm is used instead of gnome-termi‐
33       nal.
34
35       The   Hacker's   Guide    (    http://sshmenu.sourceforge.net/dev/hack‐
36       ers_guide.html ) describes a number of ways in which the SSHMenu can be
37       further customised.

OPTIONS

40       The applet is not invoked from the command-line however the  standalone
41       versions  recognise the following options and can be extended to recog‐
42       nise more:
43
44       -c FILE, --config-file FILE
45              read and write config information to FILE instead of the default
46              $HOME/.sshmenu
47
48       -d NUM, --debug NUM
49              set debug level to NUM (default: 0)
50
51       -s NUM, --socket-window-id NUM
52              use  the  XEmbed protocol to embed the SSHMenu user interface in
53              the window identified by NUM instead of  creating  a  new,  top-
54              level window,
55
56       -V, --version
57              output version information and exit
