Does anyone happen to know how you open a new shell into a new tab in an
existing terminal window?
What I'm trying to do is create a menu item on my XFCE panel to open up
a new ssh session, and instead of opening up a new window for it, add it
to an existing shell window as a new tab.
I'm not sure whether this will work the same in all terminal
applications. The one I'm using it Terminal as supplied with XFCE.
According to the man page:
--tab Open a new tab in the last-specified window;
more than one of these options can be provided
However, when I try this it doesn't matter whether I have an existing
terminal window open or not, I always get a new window open up with a
local shell, and then another tab with my ssh session (as created by
using -e to execute my ssh command line).
Hopefully that makes sense. It's late, but I keep forgetting to post so
I'm going for it anyway :)
