Thanks zaxxon,

I'm not sure I can do it on the puttyshortcut as I already have the session name of the server I connect to once putty runs. I need to then connect to another server after that one.

The bash way might work, I'll google some details on it and try it out Smilie

Edit the link to putty on your desktop and add the IP-address or name behind the putty.exe.
On the remote host, if bash is your shell, you can add something like
Code:
ENV=~/.bashrc

to your ~/.profile.
In the ~/.bashrc you can add
Code:
ssh yourremotehost

Then log out and in again, using the altered or new link on the desktop. Should work.

PROFILE-MANAGER(1)					      General Commands Manual						PROFILE-MANAGER(1)

NAME
profile-manager - starts the gui for configuring the metadata used by desktop-profiles SYNOPSIS
profile-manager DESCRIPTION
The desktop profiles package needs metadata about the available profiles in order to decide when to activate which profiles. This metadata is contained in the .listing files placed in the /etc/desktop-profiles directory. This convenience script will start a graphical interface for configuring that metadata. The gui is a kommander script, so you need to have the kommander package installed for the gui to work (the script will check if the neces- sary prerequisites are present, and tell you what's missing if necessary). OPTIONS
There are no options FILES
/etc/desktop-profiles/*.listing - Files containing the metadata about installed profiles BUGS
The gui currently barks at profile metadata containing a single quote in the description. AUTHOR
