Just Curious.. multi session ssh program that remembers state?

[Ares2600]

It's been something in the back of my head for a long time, so I figured I'd see if anyone else knows of a program that solves this problem. I manage a few clusters of Linux/AIX servers and use telnet/ssh primarily from windows in order to manage them. Currently I use Putty as it's a nice free and lightweight solution, but setting up my 10+ windows with the right server destinations and sizes/positions is a bear sometimes. Does anyone know of a program that remembers the size/position of a set of its windows as well as the machine that each window was connected to? It would be nice to have a 'profile' that I could execute and it launches and connects to each so i just have to cycle through and log in.

I suppose this might be possible with a program that takes these sort of runtime parameters as arguments to the command line or something.. just write a bat file that kicks of each in sequence.

Anyways, let me know if anyone has solved this problem.

I don't know about anything for Windows, but screen is really nice and can be configured to setup any windows running any commands on startup.

SecureCRT allows you to set up different profiles and lets you save window positions for each individual session along with a ton of other stuff.

You can start putty with command line arguments to load connection profiles so you could potentially start all the sessions with a batch file. Don't know about screen positions though, maybe that can be manipulated with some vbscript or something.
