Smithtown, NY | A terminal/ssh client with "command" shortcut buttons? I know that SecureCRT finally offers a linux client but I can't upgrade to that version (Licensed for 5.7)
So I am looking for a free or cheap alternative terminal/ssh client for Ubuntu 11.04 that has a floating button bar that allows me to define frequently used commands that I can program. |

I realize my post is not exactly what you're after but why not plunge more into the command-line and realize its power?
Assuming you're using `bash' as your shell, you could set up `alias's for your specific `ssh' needs.
For example, suppose you are ssh'ing to host `hairball', you could set up an alias as follows:
sh code:
Add the above to your `~/.profile' and open a new terminal. Type `hb' and it'll be expanded by `bash' to `ssh hairball'
Once you get the notion of aliases, you can create aliases for anything you'd like. :)
Cheers,

Smithtown, NY | Because I don't think your method will scale when I need to send different commands to over 300 different systems. I would need to define all of my aliases and then actively go log into them to push my profile definitions.
Much easier to define very common commands on a local client and send them as needed. Procomm and SecureCRT do it but I'm trying to avoid spending 100$ for software. |

kudos:1 | Ah, it wasn't clear what you were initially trying to do. If I understand it now, you're needing to `ssh' to 300 different systems and do the same activity on all those 300? If so, have you considered `expect'?

... or perhaps »sourceforge.net/projects/clusterssh is what you're after?
