[NMLUG] Shell Menu System To SSH

[tiberius at freeshell.org (Matt Rechkemmer)]

Heh, the subject of this probably makes no sense; so I'll try to explain it
better here.  I'm trying to craft something similiar to Source Forge's
"compile farm" shell.  Essentially, when you login, you're presented with a
menu system as your shell.  Something like this:

==SF Compile Farm==
[A] SunOS Blah
[B] FreeBSD Blah
[C] Debian Blah
[D} Mac OS X Blah
[E] Windows Blah

...and so on and so forth.  When you select a system, it logs you in with SSH
keys transparently in the background and presents you with the selected
machine at a bash prompt to do your work.

Would this be hard to replicate? I'm thinking a Bash script that will do a
transparent SSH session using SSH keys based on the selection grabbed from
STDIN.

Sound hard :-P? Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt
