Hello,
I'm hoping to be able to use Core Shell via Alfred (alfredapp.com) and wondered if there is a way to pass arguments to the app such that it could open a specific profile directly? So for example from a command line it might be something like open -n Core\ Shell.app -open_this_profile.
Thanks,
Zach
Core Shell supports custom URL scheme coressh://, you can open a coressh:// URL with open command:
open "coressh://user@host-address:22"
Directives in ssh_config.5 are also supported:
open "coressh://user@host-address:22?ConnectTimeout=100&LogLevel=DEBUG3&PreferredAuthentications=password"
Above command will open a SSH terminal to host-address with ConnectTimeout set to 100, LogLevel set to DEBUG3 and PreferredAuthentications allows password.
Feel free to let me know if you need further assistance.

If you manage all your connections in ~/.ssh/config it's even easier
I have this in my ~/.ssh/config
Host ol7
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
User opc
HostName ...
Then the command line becomes
open "coressh://ol7"
Cheers Yang, Mikael, both replies are very helpful and that's more or less what I was after.
One follow up question: is there a way to specify one of the Core Shell profiles somehow, so that when connecting to a particular host I get the colors etc. that I've already setup?
Or am I limited to using setterm through ssh_config?
I'm afraid no, it may be supported in future release.

+1 for command line support with profiles. I found this thread specifically looking to hook up with Alfred. This would be killer.
Great to see this in the beta @yang.
Can you detail how to use? I've tried just passing the profile name and also various things like coreshell://profile={query} but doesn't seem to be working for me. I'm probably missing something obvious.
I wrote a topic about the coressh:// URL, but I forgot to mention it in release notes 
I'm sorry, and here is the link:
Brilliant, thanks @yang. All working as I had first hoped for, many thanks for adding this in so quickly.
