NAME

       sshmenu - GNOME applet for connecting to hosts using SSH.

DESCRIPTION

       The  SSHMenu  applet  puts  all your most frequently used SSH connections on a handy menu in your GNOME panel (see below for non-GNOME ver-
       sions.  Click on a host name to open a new gnome-terminal window with an ssh connection to the selected host.  Set up SSH options (such	as
       port forwarding etc) and select a gnome terminal profile (for colour schemes, font sizes etc) using the preferences dialog.

       Add the applet to a GNOME panel in the normal way: right click on the panel, select 'Add to Panel' and then select the SSH Menu Applet from
       the list.

       Configure the applet using the 'Preferences' option on the applet menu.

STANDALONE VERSIONS

       The SSHMenu application uses the GTK GUI toolkit but is not dependent on the GNOME desktop environment.	Two  alternative  wrapper  scripts
       are provided:

       sshmenu-gnome  -  provides  all	the functionality of the SSHMenu applet but in a standalone application window that could (for example) be
       swallowed into the panel of an alternative desktop environment.

       sshmenu - provides similar functionality to sshmenu-gnome, but without any GNOME dependencies.  Notably, xterm is used  instead	of  gnome-
       terminal.

       The Hacker's Guide ( http://sshmenu.sourceforge.net/dev/hackers_guide.html ) describes a number of ways in which the SSHMenu can be further
       customised.

OPTIONS

       The applet is not invoked from the command-line however the standalone versions recognise the following options	and  can  be  extended	to
       recognise more:

       -c FILE, --config-file FILE
	      read and write config information to FILE instead of the default $HOME/.sshmenu

       -d NUM, --debug NUM
	      set debug level to NUM (default: 0)

       -s NUM, --socket-window-id NUM
	      use  the	XEmbed	protocol  to embed the SSHMenu user interface in the window identified by NUM instead of creating a new, top-level
	      window,

       -V, --version
	      output version information and exit
