Add, List & Switch Servers

Add, List & Switch Servers

/add-server — add another server

Adds an additional server. If the name already exists, the command asks first (set active, update or cancel) — so accidental overwrites are impossible.

/list-servers — show the inventory

Shows all servers as a table and marks the active one with *:

| Active | Server      | Host         | Description |
| ------ | ----------- | ------------ | ----------- |
|   *    | homeserver  | 192.168.1.5  | Main Pi     |
|        | vps-web     | 12.34.56.78  | Web VPS     |

/use — set the active server

With /use <name> you set the active server. From then on it is the default target for any command where you do not name a server explicitly.

The active server & the target echo

For every command: an explicit argument wins, otherwise the active server is used. So it is always clear what you are working on, each command echoes its target first:

→ Ziel: homeserver (pi@192.168.1.5:22)
