Connection Manager 0.3
Do you have to log in to a lot of different systems? If you do, odds are that you have to use a variety of methods. You probably have some systems that require ssh and others that only support rdesktop. For some you may have to use vnc. Some may only support telnet. Connection Manager allows you to pre-configure all this, and use a single consistant interface to get connected to all of these various systems.
The Connection Manager homepage is at http://connectman.sourceforge.net
Connection Manager uses the python distutils for installation. I have created a makefile which can be used to install Connection Manager or create various "binary" distributions of cm. This make file provides an easy interface to the python distutils commands that are used to actually create the distribution.
To install from the source distibution type (you probably will have to be root):
# make install
To make rpms type:
$ make rpm
and then go look in the dist/ directory. There will be both a source rpm and a "binary" rpm (it's not really a binary rpm because cm doesn't have any architecture specific code, it uses Python). These rpms have only been tested on Redhat 9.
