Why don't you >include the hostname in the prompt? Yes, that's what I do here. Though I'm on win desktop I ssh into a few different linux boxes and each has the 'user(a)machine:$PATH$ _' prompt.

I have a similiar problem with a different root. I usually have a Window in my lower left corner where the ssh to the box where the screen with the IRC client is on. That window isn't decorated, it is present on all desktops, it has a smaller font and a number of other specialties. It is therefore a nuisance when I accidentally close it. If only konsole would have a switch like "when the application running inside the window terminates, immediately start it again", my issue would have been solved, and yours as well.

I would therefore suggest a slightly modified approach to this if you only need one instance of the process per user -- lock_file="/tmp/${user}/run/command_name" touch "${lock_file}" while [ -e "${lock_file}" ] do sleep 2 command_name done Then if you need to stop the process, remove the lock file, and then send the signal a 1, 15, or 9 signal as appropriate.

Since I run xterm, it's a piece of cake to change fore/background colors to warn me about that root terminal. All my other terminals are a different color. Case statement in a script could even change colors based on target machine. It is not that hard to have the login script kickoff a second terminal upon login. |
