Groupvte

What is Groupvte?

Groupvte is a very small multitab terminal written in python to administrate groups of similar machines very easily. I tipically needed it to monitor and update and do some very repetitive tasks on the various machines I administer.
It uses gnome's vte widget and pygtk

BUGS

Groupvte is still very alpha software, please let me know of any issues you have with it

The VTE widget segfaults if you reparent it. Patch is here. And bug is here

Note that this shouldn't be needed since we require vte-0.11.14 which has my fix.

Usage and configuration

./configure --prefix=<prefix>
make
make install

After installation just copy the groupvte.conf.example file to ~/.groupvte.conf and tailor it to your needs.
