[Lula] Laziness aide for gnome terminal ....

Hi Folks,

this is an 'out there' kinda question, but ...

I remote admin several similar linux servers, and to avoid confusion and
drastic error, I use a different gnome terminal profile for each server
so that visually I know which one I am on; for example, my home bash
terminal has a blue background (from the profile setup in the gnome
terminal itself), my staging server is has a green background, and the
live server has a red background. (After all, I AM the guy who actually
went and typed 'rm -rf /var' on a live server instead of 'rm -rf
var/'.... OOPS ! ( I dont recommend you try that one !)

however I was wondering if I can attach a script to the ssh command so
that it automagically sets the gnome terminal profile depending on which
server I log into ?
This would be incredibly useful for times when I have been up for 30+
hours and am not always too ... err... 'with it' ?

or is there a better way ? (other than sleep and a sound mind ;)! )

thanks,

richard
