So I run half a dozen servers (webservers, mailservers, etc) for communities that I run, and as they're all located in my garage, administer them from my Mac via Terminal. Sometimes, like when migrating from one server to another, I have to have multiple Terminal windows open so I can have them side-by-side and compare settings, etc. But having the same default terminal theme/profile for each machine can sometimes get confusing.

I can save new remote connections, but I'd love to be able to assign a profile to a remote connection. So ssh'ing to server 1 brings the Novel profile up, ssh'ing to server 2 uses the Silver Aerogel profile, etc. Is this possible? Because if it is, I'm not seeing anything obvious in preferences, etc. Thanks!
 
Never mind!

Found that I can take each item found in Profiles, copy it, make it the name of my server, and add the command to automatically SSH to that server as the command when starting up.

Much simpler than I thought. Sometimes my brain tries to make things too complicated.
