I want to add static routes, I am aware I can do this with netplan but its creating a new network connection every time I try it. I have a wired connection and it creates another along side it in network manager and activates it which means the active connection is not the one the vpn is using and that means no internet access. You can see why its a problem.

What I am trying to achieve. connect to my vpn provider whilst also being able to local resources without disconnecting the vpn. My router does not allow me to connect to a local hosted locally by its fqdn and the vpn does not allow it by the ip. So I have an issue, I have to disconnect the vpn whenever I want to transfer files which is a lot during a dev session. and reconnect to view the changes made in a browser, often i forget to (dis)connect which is a problem and takes up time.

So I have added routes via the cli route command but they are removed whenever the network reconnects. How can I add the static routes without using netplan

I have created a keyboard shortcut that initiates an SSH session to my server which works as expected and there is no issue with that.

However, to enable faster access to multiple log files I have resorted to opening multiple terminals with the same command, this means several terminals each with its own ssh session.

What would like to happen is to have just one terminal/ssh session and open each log file under a separate tab.

How would you approach this?

The current keyboard shortcut I use is: (previously -x updated --):

gnome-terminal -- ssh server1r

Note: server1r is a just a predefined ssh configuration in ~/.ssh/config

Previously: running this in the terminal creates a new tab showing the error log:

 gnome-terminal --tab-with-profile=basic -- ssh server1r "tail /var/log/apache2/error.log -f"

Previously: This is where I am at now using information gleaned from various sources including man gnome-terminal, :

gnome-terminal --tab-with-profile=basic -- ssh server1r "tail ~/logs/error.log -f -n500" && gnome-terminal --tab-with-profile=basic -- ssh server1r "tail ~/logs/access.log -f -n500"

The above code runs perfectly from the terminal, creating two new tabs with the log entries shown. However, putting the command into the keyboard shortcuts doesn't work as expected. only the first log is opened and no tabs are created.

Keyboard shortcut entered exactly as above in: settings > devices > keyboard > custom shortcuts

Final Update: I have created a bash script using last code block as a temporary workaround giving me a terminal for each log. From this point I will check in periodically so see if anybody answers with a better solution, but at least for now I can open all of the required logs from one keyboard shortcut.
