NAME

X11::Terminal::GnomeTerminal - Create customised gnome-terminal windows

SYNOPSIS

This module provides an object interface to launching gnome-terminal windows.

use X11::Terminal::GnomeTerminal;

my $t1 = X11::Terminal::GnomeTerminal->new();
my $t2 = X11::Terminal::GnomeTerminal->new(host => "remoteserver");
my $t3 = X11::Terminal::GnomeTerminal->new(profile => "special");

for ( $t1, $t2, $t3 ) {
  $_->launch();
}

CONSTRUCTOR

X11::Terminal::GnomeTerminal->new(%attr);

Create a new GnomeTerminal object, optionally with the specified attributes (see below).

ATTRIBUTES

Each of the following attributes provide an accessor method, but they can also be set in the constructor.

host

Specifies the remote host to log in to (using ssh).

agentforward

If the host has been specified, and agentforward is true, the login to that host will use SSH Agent Forwarding.

xforward

If the host has been specified, and xforward is true, the login to that host will use SSH X Forwarding.

profile

Set the GnomeTerminal window profile name

geometry

Set the preferred size and position of the GnomeTerminal window

OTHER METHODS

launch($debug);

Calculates (and returns) the command that will launch your gnome-terminal. It also runs that command in a child process - unless $debug is specified.

terminalArgs();

Return the arguments that will be passed to the gnome-terminal. This will provide the customisations. There should be no reason to call this method directly.

terminalName();

Returns the name of the executable program that we want to run. There should be no reason to call this method directly.
