To SSH from a URL......If anyone cares(on a windows desktop)..... 1. Install PERL 2.create new registry key (basically just look at HK_CLASSES_ROOT\Telnet): [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ssh] @="URL:SSH Protocol" "EditFlags"=dword:00000002 "URL Protocol"="" "BrowserFlags"=dword:00000008 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ssh\DefaultIcon] @="%SystemRoot%\\system32\\url.dll,0" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ssh\shell] @="" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ssh\shell\open] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ssh\shell\open\command] @="C:\\Perl\\bin\\perl.exe c:\\ssh.pl %1" 3. copy ssh.pl to c:\ (replace putty.exe with whatever command line ssh prog you use) #!/usr/bin/perl if (scalar @ARGV) { $_ = shift @ARGV; s/ssh:\/\///; s/\///; system "putty.exe -ssh $_"; } 4. Enjoy ssh from url Steve O'Brien City of Bend Network Administrator sobrien@ci.bend.or.us 541-322-6393 <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td width=40%>sobrien@ci.bend.or.us Sent by: nagios-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net 06/26/2003 07:17 AM <td width=59%> <table width=100%> <tr> <td> <div align=right>To</div> <td valign=top>nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net <tr> <td> <div align=right>cc</div> <td valign=top> <tr> <td> <div align=right>Subject</div> <td valign=top>Re: [Nagios-users] Re: Looking for a way to connect to host via Status map</table> <table> <tr valign=top> <td> <td></table> </table> Well the telnet works great. As for ssh I created a new file type and associated my ssh program with it, problem is that the %1 variable being passed is the full URL of SSH://myhost not just "myhost" so the connection fails trying to ssh to ssh://myhost. Weird that the same variable when passed to hyperterm has no problem.

When you click once on a device in the Status Map, it zooms in on that device. Click again on the device once it's targeted and it takes you to the extended host info screen. This is where the links to connect could be located. You can put these URLs in 2 places: notes_url - this link is on the folder icon and says "There Are Additional Notes for This Host..." icon_image_alt - This is the 'alt text' for the icon in the detail screen, but will show up in italics under the device name/picture. You can sneak HTML code into the text. define hostextinfo{ host_name somedevice notes_url telnet://somedevice icon_image terminal.png icon_image_alt < a href= telnet://somedevice >Telnet to: somedevice</a> statusmap_image terminal.gd2 } <sobrien@ci.bend.or.us> wrote in message news:OF4F4EEE0E.22E1BB5B-ON88256D4F.0000FA17-88256D4F.0000FF7E@CI.BEND.OR.US ...
