linux firefox custom config ex:Using Firefox to telnet from Orion in Linux

for those of you who run Firefox in linux  and would like to be able to click the T to telnet to your nodes,

here's the solution I came up with:

in firefox:

    goto about:config

add a new string value.  Name the string: network.protocol-handler.app.telnet

with a value of :  /usr/local/bin/moz-telnet.sh

Now write /usr/local/bin/moz-telnet.sh:

 

#!/bin/bash

address=`echo $1 | cut -d : -f 2`

konsole -e telnet ${address}

 make /usr/local/bin/moz-telnet.sh executeable for everyone

you can now telnet from the node details screen.

If you prefer ssh you can just change telnet to ssh in the script

hope this helps someone
