[Locomotive-users] improved support for xterm+(t)csh?

[Niko Dittmann]

With the possibility to save commands in locomotive which than get  
called with the path of the env-file (or a selection of env-file,  
port, etc.) as argument you could do this.  Also it would be possible  
to start Terminal.app and start a tail -f command (which is on the  
top of my whish-list for locomotive).  This would be a highly  
flexible method to do any kind of things right from locomotive:

* start alternative terminal/shell
* tail
* autotest
* deployment with capistrano
* open in alternative editor
* open in alternative browser
* …

Niko.
