I have a small shell script I wrote to automate everything, actually.
It reads a list of hosts from a file and presents with a menu for
choosing a host to connect and creates a new screen window for it, with
an appropriate name.

Thanks a lot for the info. Is there any chance I could nab this script
off you?


Sure, just create a list of hosts, one per line, in ~/.hosts and it
will work.

You can also just type partial names and it will take the first match.
Like if you have a biglonghostname.example.com in your list, you can
just type 's biglong' and it will match it and start an ssh session to
that host.

Also, in your ~/.screenrc, add the lines:

bind w windowlist -b
bind W windowlist -m

This will give you the nice menu for choosing windows when you hit
ctrl-a w, because the regular windowlist can't show very menu names in
its list.
