Remembering sessions I had open..

I realize that RDM has the ability to remember what sessions I had previously opened if it gets shutdown ungracefully. (To me, this is a god-send feature). What I would like to see is the ability to create a "snapshot" of what I had opened so that if I close down RDM gracefully, I can recover those. As it is, if I shut it down gracefully, and I forget to log out of the sessions, I can change my password, and then lock myself out because I "lost" which servers I had open and forgot to clear out my logins.

And building on that:
I'd like to see a way to build "session sets" where I can specify which sessions I want open as a group, without necessarily having to create more groups/more sessions in order to accomplish this. I typically organize my sessions by functionality etc.. but there are relatively frequent occasions where I want to do things like open a specific web console, and then 2-3 RDP Sessions associated with that particular web console, etc. Definitely a nice-to-have, but is certainly not a necessity. I can see where this would be good in a large scale deployment where different support staff may have specific servers to open together from different clients. So, User A opens up a specific web console, multiple RDP sessions etc. for Customer A, but User B supports a different section for Customer A, so he opens up an RDP session, multiple SSH sessions, etc.

Thank you,

Hello David,
Maybe I don't understand exactly what you want but for me what you are describing is the playlist. You can create a playlist from the opened connections.

Wouldn't surprise me a bit that you guys may already have what I'm looking for. I will dig into it.
RDM still blows me away after all these years :-D
