I’m running on Linux, and using remote z/OS systems. Being from a performance background I hate having to waste seconds, manually starting SSH sessions to my backend systems.

I found I can automate this!

From my gnome-terminal I can issue the command

gnome-terminal --tab --working-directory=~ --title=COLINS --profile=blue  -- ssh colin@10.1.1.2 

This

• created a new terminal session as a tab in the existing terminal window
• did a cd ~
• called the tab COLINS
• selected the profile called blue (go to the hamburger of your current terminal and select profile to see what profiles you have)
• executes the command after the ‐‐, so executes ssl colin@10.1.1.1

You can issue the command

gnome-terminal --help-all

to get a list of all options.
