<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi All</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Back in November of 2002 (I know this because I searched the archives)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Christopher Barry asked a question to which I am also trying to find the answer.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Here is his post:</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">------------</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hello All,</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I would like to run putty from my winbox to ssh into server 'A', =</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">allows a new session in the same window, and what renames sessions?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Sorry if this is a basic question - I just could not find any info on =</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">it.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">------------</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have a similar issue. I am running User Mode Linux. For each virtual machine I create,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">it opens 6 XTerms. So 5 virtual machines will produce 30 XTerms. I switched the Xterm</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">to Konsole, but now I would like all 6 Xterms to open in the same window so I can manage a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">machine per window. In fact it would be great to have the window contain the xterm I used to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">start the script then plus the new 6 Xterms all in the same window. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The only response Christopher got was this</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">------------</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> if I could simply figure out how to create a new session in the same window. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> I would also like to be able to rename the sessions via a script.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">In theory dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP konsole newSession</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> and dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP_SESSION renameSession foobar</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">But that seems to be broken in current CVS. Waldo?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Bye,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> Steve</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">----------</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I tried the above code snippet, but either by this it is still broken,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">or I just did not understand how to use the code.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am running Debian unstable, so I have KDE 3.1.2 and Konsole 1.2.2</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks</FONT>
