In case you are using ssh private keys to connect to remote Linux servers on cloud, it is better to automation connection to various machines using bash script. I often connect to EC2 machines from my local macbook. Here is a sample script (you can save it as myssh.sh) you can use to connect to a remote linux machine:
ssh -i /somepath/private_key.pem $1
Now to connect to prod1.infoheap.com, you can use the following command:
$ myssh.sh prod1.infoheap.com
When you open multiple tabs and connect to various machine, the following bash code can be used in myssh.sh script:
#!/bin/bash printf "\e]1;`echo $* | sed -Ee 's/^.+\@//'`\a" TERM=vt100 ssh -i /somepath/private_key.pem $* printf "\e]1;bash\a"
You can customize it as per your need. Note that the code to set the tab title uses escape and bell char as shown below:
$ printf "\e]1;SOME_VALUE\a"
