guake-indicator

guake-indicator lets you manage your favorite ssh hosts establishing a new ssh connection with Guake dropdown terminal.

guake-indicator sticks to your "System Tray" and displays your favorites ssh hosts retrieved from the Guake indicator configuration file (see FILES section for more details)

guake-indicator builds the menu according to ~/.guake.indicator/guake-indicator.json json file

If this configuration file does not exist a default one will be created.

You can customize this file according to your needs with your favorite text editor, just use this schema as a base to add new entries. The fields are self-explanatory, however, I'm going to give you a more in-depth description of each one:

hostname

The host to connect (it can be his IP address or his DNS), leave it blank to execute commands directly on localhost

login

The ssh user

menu_name

The name that will show up in the indicator itself

tab_name

The name of the guake terminal tab once it is opened

command_after_login

Command to issue after the ssh login is successfully performed - this field is optional

remote_command

If set to yes, after that "command_after_login" is executed, the bash shell won't be invoked so an automatic exit is performed.

x_forwarded

If set to yes it adds the X flag. This tells SSH to forward the X server calls to the client computer
