If you have ssh set up to allow password-less logins, and have many machines that you may wish to connect to, it's a pain to set up "New" menu items for all of them in konsole.
The following script is a handy utility I knocked up to solve this.
Install as "go" and symlink "launch" to "go"
$ ln -s go launch
Then fire up a console, and you'll be able to do this
$ go other_machineWhich launches a ssh connection to other_machine in new konsole tab and moves the focus there, or
$ launch other_machinewhich launches a ssh connection to other_machine in a new konsole tab, but leaves the focus on the current tab. Download the script
