PAC

PAC provides a GUI to configure SSH and Telnet connections, including usernames, passwords, EXPECT regular expressions, and macros. It is similar in function to SecureCRT or Putty. It is intended for people who connect to many servers through SSH. It can automate logins and command executions.

Release Notes: This release adds scripting support. PAC Scripts are written in Perl, and the built-in editor has syntax highlighting (if "libgtk2-sourceview2-perl" is installed) and checking. The PCC Multiline <PIPE:...> and <TEE:...> algorithm has been modified to add <PIPE:cmd:prompt> to allow user choice of the output pattern to match the end of cmd execution detection. Many bugfixes have been made.

Release Notes: This release adds <PIPE:local command> and <TEE:path_to_file> variables to PCC. It adds a "<TEE:path_to_file>" PAC variable under PCC to "tee" commands' output to files. Now, moving the mouse to the left side of terminals will make the tree appear and reverse. The ability to choose the name of auto-saved session logs. Support for "xfreerdp". A special cluster named " *ALL PAC TERMINALS*". Many more improvements. Some bugfixes.

Release Notes: This release added an option to password-protect PAC at startup and when restoring from tray (optionally). A check was added to ensure that the user does not accidentally start many connections at once by drag and dropping groups. A bug that prevented <Ctrl><Shift><v> from correctly pasting text was fixed (it appended "^M" at the end). A bug with passwords containing non-alphanumeric characters and RDP connections was fixed. The <Ctrl><left/right> keyboard shortcut for changing between tabs was removed as it conflicted with SSH functionality. The four Gnome2::Vte libraries were removed.

Release Notes: This release adds an option under "Preferences" to check for new PAC versions on demand (clicking a button). It adds <Ctrl><left/right> to switch between TABs. It fixes a bug that prevented PAC from entering '#' (hash) starting passwords in RDP (rdesktop) connections. It fixes a minor bug that prevented saving the forwarded port for SSH connections under some circumstances.

Release Notes: This release adds statistics to show the number of times a connection has been made, the last time it was connected, etc., adds a "Local Shell" option for the "New connection" right-click submenus, makes a little modification to the string appearing at the start/stop of any execution (for a shorter/cleaner string), fixes a bug which, under some weird circumstances, could make PAC go to 100% CPU usage, fixes a bug which prevented pasting with mouse-middle-click if the selection was outside PAC's terminals, and makes minor icon changes and ultra-minor code changes.

Well the PAC is really just nice piece of software, but I experience 2 issues:
- no support of using the ssh keys, but I can live without that
- when I open terminal and switch to another application just opened on the desktop (Gnome type), I cann't directly use PAC for some time (about 10-20 seconds) then it itself refreshes and I can continue using opened terminal. Do you have any suggestion what this schould be about?

Thank you
